Small World Theatre is home to the puppet theatre company of the same name. It is a beautiful, creative near-zero carbon space on the West coast of Wales, with a supportive team and fully accessible facilities.

The company uses its venue for its own events and classes, but it is also available to hire. A highly skilled team will work with you to present your event, party, meeting or conference. We are one of the few venues offering aerial circus facilities and aerial training in Wales.

Our sustainability credentials

 

Small World Theatre is an iconic building, recognised by Design Commission for Wales as a great design built for the environment. ‘This is a distinctive public building which fulfils an ambitious brief to build.

‘A Creative Space for a Creative Community’, with highly commendable sustainability credentials… a testament to the dedication of the team who have achieved a very special project for the community of Cardigan.’

Working with architect Olly Llewelyn, the venue was built using materials from renewable or recycled sources. Find out more about the construction of our Near Zero Carbon Venue.

  • “Their (Faith I Branko) performance, rich and lyrical, filled to the rafters Small World’s sonic space

    – the uniquely designed acoustics of this “nautical pyramid” resounding with the trio’s shivering notes. ”

  • "Thank you for hosting our meeting and making it all so well organised. [...]

    Many thanks to all of the staff at the Small World Theatre for allowing us to hold our Ceredigion Local Nature Partnership meeting. From organising morning refreshments, to helping with outside catering and very specific placement of tables and chairs; it was absolutely seamless. Great communication, and special thanks for allowing a deaf member of the partnership to visit the venue before the meeting to work out the acoustics and her recording equipment."
