Open Doors - Former Magistrates Court (now Town Hall), Colwyn Bay

The Town Hall is formerly the Magistrates Court which was built by Walter Wiles, the County Architect of Denbighshire in 1905-07 and is a Grade II listed building. The Courts closed in the 1990s and became the Town Hall which still retains many of its original features.

For Open Doors, visual artists will use the artefacts (displayed in the Chamber) as inspiration for a workshop. There will be interactive activity with theatrical/storytelling. The local Heritage group will be undertaking a heritage walk with the Town Hall as a stop-off point. Old photographs will form a slide show. The Mayor and Councillors will be present to welcome visitors and to show the Robes/Council Regalia.

No booking required.
