The 30 Best Theater & Cinema in Swansea

“Lovely cinema! Highly recommend! Very accommodating staff as well as very polite and well mannered. Cinema is always clean but gives off a homely vibe. Very welcoming. Perfect place for my adhd autistic daughter because it’s not too over whelming like some places. Will always come here to watch a movie with the family.”

“Emailed them about a replacement lead for my headphones, got back in touch straight away, they could have ordered as didn't have stock but instead put me in touch with one of their suppliers to get it quicker to me. Great service.”

“What a great cinema. Very beautiful, spotlessly clean. Great people and terrific sound and vision.”

“What a fantastic venue, really nice and friendly staff, awesome drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Awesome size cinema, great size screen and really comfortable seating. Holds exclusive events and Q&A sessions with directors which is a massive bonus.”

“Came here to watch 'Port Talbort Gotta Banksy' - thoroughly enjoyed the play & surroundings in the Arts section of the theatre. The building outside is original however the interiors are so contemporary with fantastic use of light, colour, glass, materials etc. Original features such as the spiral staircase have been modernised - it's worth a visit to see the architecture & interiors- take a look at my pictures - they speak volumes! P.s your able to go on the roof trellis & have a fab view of surrounding area with old building tops in view as well as the surrounding mountains.”

“Absolutely amazing accessibility support from Steven. Late email request for accessible seating due to mobility issues and I had an immediate phone call offering support and new tickets with stair free seats. Also queried captioning for an event next year and was informed 2 front row seats had been reserved pending enquiries with the relevant production company. Flawless customer service. Would highly recommend. Stunning venue and great performances available.”

“Lovely cinema, comfy seats, friendly staff, it's just up from Dennys so it's in a great location. Plenty of parking too, just remember to enter your vehicle registration into the tablet at the cashier desk when you get there, or you will be fined after 2 hours.”

“Had a group of kids giggling ruining the movie. One of the employees Ash was so lovely and understanding, he was very kind and caring. Absolute lovely gent. We will still be coming back due to him be so accommodating.”

“Been coming to this cinema for a fairly long time and it's one of my favourites, tickets are priced at a reasonable £6.99 and the four hours free parking is a big bonus. Practically all of the fixtures and fittings inside are from when it was an Apollo cinema, which is actually a great thing for nostalgia since there was never anything wrong with those fixtures and fittings in the first place. Swansea is only 20mins away, and yes it does have an Odeon and a Vue, but you'll also find a very good cinematic experience here too, the only branch of Reel in all of Wales (second nearest is all the way over in Chippenham - Reel, please open more Welsh venues!). Give it a try for a trip to the pictures. And it's right by Aberavon Beach on the seafront too! Hooray!”

“Amazing little place well worth a visit, had my 8 year old birthday party there, got the children to choose their film and away we went! Great fun had by all, watched old school Disney Robin Hood!”

“This was my 1st time attending the Swansea Little Theatre, and I was extremely impressed. I recently visited with my nephew to see the Peter Pan Panto. The venue was very good, and I was pleasantly surprised to see there was a small bar serving wine and the odd beer (as well as soft drinks). Although the venue it small, it's very cozy and aids in having a fuller impression in the play. I was extremely impressed with the performance and will attend further productions in the future due to how enjoyable this evening was.”

“Really lovely place.. Although some of the seats really do need sorting out, with ripped arm rests etc. Really need seating in the foyer for people to wait or just rest if disabled.. Staff super friendly and helpful”

“The first and only time I went to this cinema was approximately in 1962 / 1963. This was the time of Saturday morning cinema and as I remember various 'shorts' especially cowboy films. For the last 60 years I still wonder if the heroine was saved from falling over the cliff. I guess I will never know. I enjoyed it then and enjoyed seeing the cinema now in such beautiful condition. The 'local authorities' as I understand have 100% refurbished the building at considerable expense. To me seeing it recently, great job and well done. So 'chapeau' to whomsover in 'Welsh Government' and 'Neath/Port Talbot Council'.”

“We just wanted to say a huge thank you to Kelly and Debbie for the fantastic entertainment they provided. Their energy, warmth, and creativity were absolutely brilliant, and they had the children completely captivated from start to finish. It was clear how much thought they put into making the experience inclusive, engaging, and fun. The children were laughing, dancing, and joining in with such joy, it was a real highlight for everyone involved. Kelly and Debbie have a wonderful way of connecting with children of all ages and abilities, and their presence brought so much positivity to the day. We’d absolutely love to welcome them back again. Thank you both for making it so special.”

“The show tonight was amazing amazing cast ❤ amazing must go Saturday the last night it on you want be disjointed great acting thank you for the show”

“Booked a dinosaur themed party for my 3 yr old and 2 yr old joint party. All the children had a fantastic time. Face painting, bubbles, dancing, dinosaur adventure (which the kids particularly loved) puppet show and Mickey Mouse even came to surprise the children. Will be booking again!! Fantastic”

“To be honest I’m not rating this for the place but for someone who works there. I do not know her name but I attend a wedding there and she cut my silhouette free hand with paper and it’s the best thing ever ‼️”

“Friendly helpful staff. Small, quaint theatre. Excellent local production. Great family entertainment.”

“First visit to Pontardawe Arts Centre. What a lovely venue, right in the middle of the town. Went to see Andy Fairweather Low and the Low Riders. Beautiful venue, nice cafe bar area, all spotlessly clean. Had a couple of drinks prior to the show, very friendly staff, happy to help with all enquiries. Will definitely visit again.”

“Such an easy, no problem time getting through the queue having my vaccine and out. No problem”

“My favourite beach for kitesurfing when the wind is up enough, great little cafe called Memos is always worth a visit too, the owners are lovely people, parking is reasonable here during the summer and the beach is huge so there's plenty of space down there”

“Really fun evening at The comedy club 25/04/25”

“Beautiful theatre, best place to watch a film. Great to be able to have a drink as well.”

“Great community centre and church. It does a lot for the community.”
