If you didn’t fancy spending £125 on a ticket for one of Jeff Lynne’s ELO concerts in April/June 2016 in an arena over in England then please note a tribute band called ELO Again is appearing at Venue Cymru Theatre on Saturday, 30 April 2016.

Tickets are £20 each but this morning I managed to take advantage of an Early Bird Special for £15 each at the theatre box office.

BTW, I think this could be the same weekend as the Extravaganza.

It's appropriate they are playing in Llandudno since "all the clubs have been closed down".  :laugh:

Maybe more appropriate then, DaveR, that their most famous record is Ghost Town.

Venue Cymru, Llandudno has been given the green light for a £2.8 million project to improve the north Wales conference and meetings offer.

Work on refreshing Venue Cymru’s offer as a business events venue will begin in May 2018 with a view to work being complete by the end of the year.  Almost £1 million of EU funding has been secured for the development. The project is part of the Welsh Government’s EU funded Tourism Attractor Destination programme, led by Visit Wales.

Venue Cymru hosts in excess of 800 separate conference and events every year.

Conwy County Borough Council, owners of Venue Cymru recognised that the remodeling of key spaces within the complex was critical to ensure that Venue Cymru could evolve with the needs of this important market, and attract further business events to Wales.

A programme of reconfiguration of the current building will allow for better use of the existing space to accommodate the varied programme of shows and events; with the improved quality of the offer attracting more visitors to North Wales and Venue Cymru, helping to extend the visitor season.

Tourism Minister, Dafydd Elis-Thomas, said:

Had my first encounter with this venue yesterday when I dropped in to buy tickets for the snooker next March. (still early bird deals available if you are interested)

What a huge and confusing building it is, I assume it is various buildings all joined up or was it built like this? When I explained to them that their website wouldn't let me book tickets they just shrugged but anyway, I am not complaining, world-class snooker walking distance from my house is nothing to sneeze at :)

I shall be joining you at the snooker for Monday - Thursday at least.

I managed to only pay £22.50 with a Black Friday deal last month.

As for Venue Cymru, it was built in three stages.

First there was the theatre but me and Mrs R have a difference of opinion on what came next.

I think it was the Arena on the site of the former Arcadia Theatre followed later by the building of the booking office, cafe and restaurant.
