Although I have often visited the Brangwyn Hall (within Swansea Council's 1920-1930s built Civic Centre - also known as Swansea's Guildhall), it had always been either for a Concert or a Trade Show, but in November 2017 my wife and I went there for a totally different reason; namely because our dog- and family- friendly self-catering holiday cottage had been chosen as a finalist in two categories for the Swansea Bay Tourism Awards 2017.
Apart from us walking away (at the end of the evening) with both a Winners Award plus a Highly Commended Certificate, it gave us an ideal overview of what The Brangwyn (Hall) were able to provide for functions, as well as our being able to assess both the quality etc of their food, and the efficiency and friendliness of their staff on the night, and I for one (and judging by lots of comments around us, most of those voices we could hear), were of the opinion that not only was all of the food delicious, but it all arrived on time, was cooked to perfection, was delivered (served) pleasantly and efficiently by an 'army' of waiters&waitresses, and the whole evening's event was a great success (especially for us, as we picked up two awards; "Highly Commended" for our Self Catering Holiday Accommodation, and we were the outright Winner for the new category of "Best Dog Friendly Tourism Business"! Now, that's what I call a really wonderful experience of and at the Brangwyn Hall, so very many thanks to everyone for making everything possible...
Read moreAs I am a keen Church Organist with a passion for Organs, here at the Brangwyn has a very fine Organ and Id love to come and have a tinkle and to produce some CD's and possible DVD's so that the Brangwyn could sell to "boost" funds towards the upkeep and Organ and would happily consider a recital. All of this would be in memory of someone who passed away a number of years ago who took an interest in my passion for the organ where his son is a talented concert organist who gave a recital in the brangwyn back in 1999 to top this all up I've been down in senarios with the Brangwyn Manager "The Brangwyn is closed for refurbishment - no "casual playing" until all work is done, the next was "The Organ is undergoing a phased refrbishment scheme over a period so no "casual playing" until then. Id sent an email to the Manager to express interest on my proposed project no reply, so recently I went in had a look around the Brangwyn and asked to speak to the Manager who wasn't in my view very pleasant towards me she told that "no causal playing is allowed" We would be happy for you to do a recital" I emailed a complaint to Swansea Council which was passed onto a John Birmingham who was no help at all who basiscally doesn't know much about Organs!! If the Brangwyn do read this then please take note in what I've said here! - A very impressive place but I wanted to do this project in memory of someone and support the...
Read moreStep right up, folks, and feast your eyes on the Greatest Charity Ball on Earth – hosted at none other than the magnificent Brangwyn Hall!
From the moment the grand doors swung open, we were whisked away into a magical big top of elegance, excitement, and extraordinary entertainment – all in support of our wonderful charity, Faith in Families.
The staff at Brangwyn Hall? Ringmasters of hospitality! From start to finish, they were an absolute dream team – warm, professional, and completely dedicated to making the night spectacular.
And let’s talk about the JR Events team… WOW. They didn’t just organise a ball, they orchestrated a circus extravaganza! Jugglers, acrobats (metaphorically speaking), and pure event magic at every turn. Every detail was spot on – from the dazzling decor to the seamless running of the evening. They absolutely NAILED IT.
It wasn’t just a night out – it was a night to remember, full of heart, flair, and FUN. We laughed, danced, and raised funds under the metaphorical big top, and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to bring the magic to life.
Five shining stars – and we’d give more if we could. Brangwyn Hall + JR Events = a standing ovation from us!
Roll up, roll up, and book your event here – it’s...
