14.02.20 Anti-social behaviour in Galeri

Due to recent anti-social behaviour by various groups – it is with regret that as a company, we reserve the right to refuse entry of young people (under 18 years old) to Galeri if they:

  • haven’t got a ticket to an event;
  • are not paying customers in the Café Bar;
  • haven’t got a lesson within the building.

This comes after several occurrences where a minority have been behaving anti-socially towards staff and incidents of theft and damage to the property.

12.02.20 Criminal damage in Cei Llechi

Rhaglen SinemaUnfortunately – there has been several cases of vandalism on the Cei Llechi site on Monday evening – 10.02.20.

The police are now looking at all forensic and CCTV evidence. If you have any information, please feel free to contact us or the police directly.

The regeneration of Cei Llechi is a major investment to Caernarfon and will improve the town substantially. But whilst there is a minority who behave in this way, it is having a negative impact on our progress/schedule and financially.

This exciting new project is delivered by Caernarfon Harbour Trust and Galeri Caernarfon Cyf. The site will open to the public later in the year.

17.01.20 Change to the published programme: Dancing in the Wings (13.03.20)

12.12.19 Galeri representing Wales at the UK Social Enterprise Awards 2019

We were delighted to be shortlisted for the prestigious ‘Social Enterprise of the Year” at the 2019 UK Awards ceremony.

The company has seen a huge growth in its services and offer since forming in 1992 with the initial aim of buying, renovating and letting properties within the walled town of Caernarfon. We now own over 20 properties in the town as well as running Galeri.

Since the opening of Galeri in 2005, the nature of the company has evolved in terms of the offer to the business model, employment as well as having a positive impact on the wider economy and the local supply chain. The opening of the cinema screens in 2018 has seen a huge increase in footfall within the building with over 250,000 using Galeri’s facilities annually.

As we look to the future, during the Summer of 2020 we will be opening Cei Llechi. This is a project in partnership with the Caernarfon Harbour Trust and will regenerate old, dilapidated properties – bringing life, vibrancy and purpose to the slate quay. The site will be home to 19 varied manufacturing companies who will produce and sell their goods within the units. There will also be 3 holiday lets (self-catering), a meeting room and a space to educate visitors of the importance of Cei Llechi linking Caernarfon to the international markets.

Having the recognition of our work and being shortlisted for such a prestigious award is an honour for us. We would like to thank the customers, supporters, suppliers, staff and board members for ensuring that the company has become what it is today and recognised further afield.

09.10.18 Confirming the films for the coming weeks…

ryan-goslingSince the opening the cinema screens here in Galeri, we have already welcomed over 2,500 people to see various films (this equates to over 10% of our annual target) in a space of just over 3 weeks and a half. Your support has been fantastic and it proves that there is a demand for such a facility here in Caernarfon.

The film programme up until Thursday evening, 25 October has now been confirmed. You can download a PDF version here or for further details, trailers and to book details – why not visit the dedicated wpage on our site - galericaernarfon.com/cinema

We strongly recommend that customers pre-book tickets in advance for two main reasons. Firstly, to save money by buying tickets at a cheaper rate than on the day; and secondly – to secure your seats (as customers now book a specific seat for a film). Unfortunately, there have been several occasions where films have sold out and customers have been turned away – so please pre-book.

We also ask any customers who book a ticket for a 15 / 18 certified film to bring an ID/proof of age (whether a driving licence, Validate UK card, passport or copy of your birth certificate). The rules are not set by ourselves – this is the law – so we will not allow anyone who we believe are under age to attend a screening without a valid ID. With 12A certified films – a parent/responsible adult must accompany a child under the age of 12A. Further information can be found on the BBFC website by clicking here.

To book your tickets, you can:
Telephone us on 01286 685 222
- Buy online at galericaernarfon.com/cinema
- Visit the Box Office in Galeri

Please ensure that tickets are collected at least 10 minutes before the advertised film start time (the time listed on the website states the start time of the film and not the trailers).

19.06.17 Appointment of Nici Beech as Galeri’s new Artistic Director

Galeri Caernarfon are delighted to announce the appointment of Nici Beech as the new Artistic Director.

The television executive producer and director, and former S4C commissioner, Nici is a familiar and hard-working member of the Caernarfon community – as one of the regular organisers of Noson 4a6 since 2004, Gŵyl Fwyd Caernarfon Food Festival and one of the founders of Gŵyl Arall.

According to Gwyn Roberts, Galeri Caernarfon Cyf’s Chief Executive:
“We are delighted to announce the appointment of Nici Beech as our new Artistic Director. Nici shares our vision and joins us at a particularly exciting time, as the new 2 screen cinema is being built. Her vast experience of working within the creative industries and on a voluntary basis as one of the founders and organisers of several events in the Caernarfon area – including Noson 4a6, Gŵyl Arall and Gŵyl Fwyd Caernafon makes her the perfect person to develop our artistic programme for years to come.”

Nici will begin her new role in July.

23.03.17 Construction work on Galeri’s new 2 screen cinema extension to begin

imageWork on building Galeri’s new 2 screen cinema will begin next week. Costing almost £4m, the development will see Caernarfon have the only full-time dedicated two screen cinema in the area, and the programme will include the latest releases. The new screens will also free up Galeri’s 394 seat main theatre – currently split between theatre and film to develop the artistic programme- and bring in additional income through private hires and conferences.

Designed by Galeri’s original award-winning architect and recent winner of Channel 4’s 2016 House of the Year – Richard Murphy, Llysfaen construction company RL Davies will undertake the building work. Galeri have received funding support from the Arts Council of Wales Lottery fund, the Welsh Government (Vibrant and Viable Places scheme) and the European Regional Development Fund.

The existing programme in Galeri will continue and the construction work is not likely to adversely affect our existing operations. A new temporary public entrance will be built and used as the extension is being built. We are aiming to open the new screens in early Summer 2018

04.01.17 Update: Galeri’s new 2 screen cinema extension

imageIn December, tender documents were published for a developer to carry out the work of building Galeri’s 2 screen purpose built cinema. We aim to start the work in February or March 2017 and open in 2018.

The opening of the new cinema in Galeri will mean that Caernarfon would be the only multi-screen cinema provision in Gwynedd and Anglesey. The development will also free up Galeri’s 394 seat main theatre to develop the artistic programme as well as growing the commercial use of the venue for private hires, conferences and weddings.

When opened, the 2 screen cinema programme will run 7 days a week and will include a variety of ‘on release’ titles, independent films and regular themed screenings.
