Background
History
The Brangwyn Hall was designed and built as part of the Swansea Guildhall in 1934 but, before the British Empire Panels could be installed, the ceiling of the hall had to be raised in order to show them off. but, after some sections of the media argued that the panels were too colourful and spirited, the House of Lords declined them. So Swansea Council acquired them instead.
Description
The Brangwyn Hall is used for awards ceremonies and social events as well as classical music concerts and rock concerts. Among the ceremonies held at the Brangwyn Hall are the annual Chinese New Year celebrations (for the Chinese community in Swansea). The graduation ceremonies for students graduating from University of Wales Trinity Saint David were also held there, before they moved to the newly built Swansea Arena, and then reverted to the hall in July 2025. Swansea University uses Brangwyn Hall as an external examination venue. The BBC National Orchestra of Wales frequently uses this venue when performing in Swansea. Additionally, the BBC has filmed some scenes from the Doctor Who…
