History
A home for arts, entertainment and community, The Stiwt Theatre is rooted in the mining heritage of the Wrexham area. Built by the Miners’ Welfare Organisation, its name comes from Institute, reflecting the sacrifices of local miners who helped fund the theatre during the hardships of the 1920s.
Opened in 1926, the theatre flourished until its closure in 1977, mirroring the decline of the mining industry. Once facing demolition, a community-led effort saw 3,000 people come together to save and restore their beloved theatre. Now a Grade II listed building, The Stiwt has entered a new era.
Run by The Stiwt Arts Trust Ltd, the theatre offers a varied programme of theatre, musicals, comedy and tribute acts, serving Wrexham and beyond. It is also a welcoming home for community groups, training, and creative development.
The Stiwt Theatre welcomes everyone to learn, create and be entertained. Come and be part of our story.
