Opened in 1922 it was built as a memorial to the men of Newport who lost their lives in The Great War. Since then it has been at the centre of community life in Newport. Facilities The facilities include a large assembly hall (with proscenium stage) licensed for gatherings of up to 300 people, a meeting / dining room for approx 40 people, large well equipped kitchen and 2 further small meeting rooms one of which is used by the Newport branch of The British Legion. A pleasant garden behind the building is ideal for summer festivals, parties, etc. Visit www.newportmemorialhall.co.uk for all our weekly activities such Computer Classes, Yoga, Hip Hop Dance Classes and more. Our Hall is also the venue for: Nights Out - Vibrant evenings range from accomplished musicians from around the world to circle dancing and local bands often with a café serving delicious food. Volunteers! The Memorial Hall is a registered charity run by a management committee of local volunteers. We are looking for new volunteers to help with senior citizen lunches or with putting on events at the Hall – or indeed any help at all – especially an odd job person!!!!

A variety of pieces of pottery were found which dated the kilns to the fifteenth century. One of the kilns is preserved beneath the stage of the Hall and is probably the only medieval Welsh kiln surviving. |
