Open Doors - Temperance Hall, Haverfordwest

Haverfordwest’s Temperance Hall is an impressive Grade II listed building. Having been built in 1888, it was Initially a gathering place for those following the Temperance movement. As the needs of the community changed, so the hall was adapted. It briefly functioned as council chambers before operating as a cinema during the First World War, and subsequently as a billet for Dutch soldiers during the Second World War. Following this, it served as a bingo hall, Freemasons’ lodge, and a tax office. Today, it is in the process of being renovated and repurposed as a community printing hub

Whilst the building is in the process of being renovated it may not be possible for the public to enter the building, although we will endeavour to provide this if possible and deemed safe to do so. We will also provide a short talk about the building and deliver a brief walking tour of the centre of Haverfordwest for anybody wishing to undertake this. Specific timings to be confirmed.

No booking required.
