The Hall is honoured to receive The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, which is the highest honour bestowed on voluntary organisations in the UK.  It was awarded to the Hall for its remarkable contribution to community life in Cwmllynfell and the surrounding area.  The Hall was also recognised for its work during the Covid pandemic when many other organisations closed down.  It’s a well-deserved award for staff, trustees and volunteers.

Some of our excellent volunteers (and Her Majesty) who helped to organise three days of fun actvities for local people to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Martin, our Hall Manager, and his wife, Catherine, attending a garden party at Buckingham Palace in May.  Martin was elected for his contibution to community support during Covid and his efforts for setting up and managing the hot meal home delivery service for local people.  A well deserved recognition for all his hard work in the community.

Over 60 people sat down to enjoy the annual OAP Group Christmas Dinner at the Hall on Wednesday 8th December.  Catering supplied in-house by chefs Martin, Claire and volunteers.

The first panto in the Hall is on Saturday 18th December at 6.00pm.  Adults accompanying their children go free – “O, yes they do!”.   Call in at the Hall for tickets and more information about the show and ticket prices.  Or contact Martin on the Hall’s Facebook page.

OAP members are seen tucking into a traditional meal of fish & chips in the Hall.  Martin’s secret batter recipe is very popular amongst diners.  They keep on coming for more!

Afternoon teas are a popular attraction in the Hall.  It’s a friendly and comfortable place to meet with friends for a chat over a cup of tea or coffee with a wide range of delicious cakes and sandwiches.  After the covid lockdowns it’s a safe way of meeting up with friends again.

The Hall is being prepared to stage the Breconshire County Darts team for a Super League competition.  Cwmllynfell Hall has become a popular venue for darts and short mat bowls competitions because of its facilities.

The big sceen comes to the Hall for the first time.  By popular demand the main hall was used to show films, with refreshments on offer.  It was a trial run to see if it would become a regulalr feature.

The Chair of Cwmllynfell Community Council, Cllr Martin Evans (on the right), handed a cheque for £4,000 to the Hall Manager, Martin Harries, to support the community takeaway and home delivery meal service operated by Neuadd Cwmllynfell Hall during the Covid-19 pandemic.  The grant will go towards the cost of a new freezer, meal packaging and other essential items.  The Hall is grateful to the Council for its continued support.
