Cambria Centre

Building the Cambria Centre will turn the site into a multi-functional asset. The local communities will benefit from having a first class resource which as well as providing adult education will include – enhanced library,theatre and workshop space, exhibition and conference space, a venue for social events and genesis units for business development. The development will secure the future of Coleg Harlech as an educational institution and Theatr Harlech as the hub of the cultural life of the community as well as providing first class services for tourism and business markets.
