The NEON, Grade II listed movie theater and music venue in St Julians, Newport, Wales
The NEON stands at an elevation of 7.3 meters at the junction of Clarence Place and Chepstow Road in Newport, displaying Art Deco architectural elements.
Established in 1938 as an Odeon cinema designed by architect Harry Weedon, the building received Grade II listed status in 1999 after facing potential demolition.
The theater transforms between screening independent films and mainstream movies while providing a stage for local and touring musical performances.
Located near Newport Bridge on the east side of the city center, the venue maintains regular programming of films and concerts throughout the year.
The name NEON represents Newport Entertains Our Nation, reflecting its transformation from a traditional Odeon cinema to a modern entertainment complex.
