The community centre extension was added in the 1970s and is currently a meeting place for almost 50 local groups and organisations. A recently completed programme of refurbishment financed by the Welsh European Funding Office and Gwynedd Council's Regeneration Fund has seen £750,000 spent on renovating the building and providing new equipment.

The Dragon can be hired by community groups and for private social functions, corporate events, presentations and conferences. Staff are on hand to advise on staging events.

There's also a chance to dance on Mondays and Wednesdays between 2 and 4pm. Locals and holiday-makers are welcome to try out a bit of line-dancing on the Monday and a tea dance on the Wednesday, all year round.

During August, films will be shown in the main auditorium each Monday evening and on Wednesdays local drama groups the Barmouth Arts Society and Springfield Street Productions put on a play.

For information on purchasing tickets, please contact the theatre directly on 01341 281697.

There is wheelchair access to the auditorium, arts room and stage/backstage, a hearing loop system is installed and guide dogs/hearing dogs are welcomed.
