About Llandudno Pier Pavilion Theatre#

The Llandudno Pier Pavilion Theatre is a seafront performance venue that forms part of the Victorian pier complex in Llandudno, North Wales. The pier opened in the late 19th century and the pavilion functions as the pier’s principal indoor entertainment space.

Programming typically includes variety shows, concerts, community theatre and seasonal pantomime, with the busiest period during the summer visitor season. The theatre is used by touring acts and local groups and provides a sheltered venue alongside the pier’s outdoor attractions.

The pavilion sits within the Llandudno Pier development, which dates from the Victorian era, and has hosted live entertainment for decades as part of the town’s seaside leisure offering.

The theatre is located on the seafront promenade in Llandudno, Conwy County Borough, immediately adjacent to the pier entrance and close to the town centre and promenade, overlooking Llandudno Bay and the Great Orme.

  • When to see shows: Shows and live entertainment concentrate in summer, with family pantomime and seasonal performances at other times of year.
