Information For Llanhilleth Miners Institute
Opened originally in 1906, Llanhilleth Miners Institute has been restored to its former glory in order to deliver the vision of the original miners who built it.
The Institute stands as a testament to the heart of a community. Built during a time of industrial growth, this iconic building served as a vital hub for the local mining community. Its imposing structure, a blend of traditional and industrial architecture, reflects the era’s spirit of resilience and unity. Today, while its purpose has evolved, the Institute retains its original charm, offering a unique and historic setting for modern celebrations.
It is a captivating venue steeped in history and character. Nestled in the enchanting Ebbw Fach Valley, our Grade II listed building provides a stunning wedding venue for your special day.
