Theatr Colwyn

Theatr Colwyn sits right in the heart of Conwy, a proper working theatre that punches above its weight for a town of this size. You'll find everything from pantomime and comedy nights to musicals and local drama productions on the schedule - the kind of place where you might catch a West End touring show one month and a brilliant amateur production the next.

It's the sort of venue that rewards checking what's on before you book your caravan holiday rather than turning up and hoping. During school holidays and weekends, family-friendly shows tend to dominate the programme, making it a decent rainy-day option if the North Wales weather turns. The theatre itself has genuine character - you're not sitting in some soulless multiplex.

Everyone from theatre enthusiasts to families after an evening out will find something to their taste depending on what's running. A typical show runs two to three hours including interval, so factor that into your evening plans. Ticket prices vary wildly depending on what's on, but you're not looking at London West End money.

Conwy's within easy reach of several caravan parks - Dinarth Hall is barely two miles away, while Tan Y Bryn and Bron-y-Wendon offer good alternatives if that's full. Llandudno is just next door if you fancy splitting your entertainment between the theatre and the seafront. Check their website or ring ahead before your trip - programmes change regularly and you'll want to book seats for anything decent.
