Llanhilleth Miners Institute

Llanhilleth Institute provides a vibrant link with the industrial past of the Ebbw Fach Valley. Fully restored to the original glory of when it was first built in 1906, Llanhilleth Institute has two function rooms; a large Dance Hall (Ithel Suite) with bar and smaller but divisable Ebbw Suites as well as an Internet Cafe (Red Ash Café). The heritage of Llanhilleth and the St Illtyds Ward is about more than simply coal mining.

Little evidence of the powerful coal industry remains and the scars of coal mining have healed allowing the beautiful scenery of Llanhilleth to shine through. St Illtyds Church is only a short drive above the Institute from which the most spectacular views can be seen. The vibrant heart of the community, seeking to meet the changing needs of the people it serves, and reflect the vision of the miners who built it.
