The Savoy Theatre is a Grade II listed building on Church Street in Monmouth that functions as both a cinema and live performance venue. Inside, it retains Victorian elegance with 360 seats, red velvet upholstery, and ornate glass chandeliers throughout the space.
The building began in 1832 as Bell Assembly Rooms and underwent several transformations including time as an ice rink and cinema before becoming the Savoy Theatre. Each change reflected the shifting entertainment needs of the town over the generations.
The venue serves as a gathering place for the town, hosting everything from classic films to live performances that connect residents and visitors alike. Its role has remained central to local entertainment and community life since it first became a theater.
The venue sits on the town's main street and is easily accessible for visitors arriving on foot or by car. It's worth checking the schedule in advance since the program alternates between film screenings and live performances throughout the week.
It stands on one of the oldest known theatre sites in Wales and operates entirely without government support. This independence makes it a remarkable example of cultural preservation sustained through local commitment and private backing.
