About Newbridge Memo
Newbridge Memo and Celynen Collieries’ Institute & Memorial Hall are 2 historically significant buildings in the heart of Newbridge, Gwent, fully restored after a successful, 12 year, community led campaign to save the buildings. The campaign was started with a simple petition and public meeting in 2003, but following its appearance on the BBC’s Restoration programme in 2004, soon drew attention and captured hearts from across Britain and around the world.
The Institute and Memorial Hall officially reopened in 2013 and 2014 respectively, following a multi-million pound restoration programme, and Newbridge Memo is now once again serving the community by offering excellent heritage and education experiences alongside, corporate events space and an extensive variety of entertainment in its magnificent theatre and ballroom.
