Welcome to Canolfan Cae

Cymro

Canolfan Cae Cymro is located on a prominent site above the village of Clawddnewydd near Ruthin. It has magnificent views of the Clwydian Hills, the Berwyn range and of the beautiful landscape of the Edeyrnion valley in the distance. The Canolfan is a community-owned facility which was officially opened in January 1998, following a period of fund-raising by the community of Clawddnewydd, Derwen and Clocaenog, and the most generous donation of land by Mr Arthur Williams, Allt y Celyn. It is a multi-purpose building, with a large hall (room for approx. 180 to 200 people for a concert or 120 people for a meal), conservatory available to accommodate about 25 people, well-equipped kitchen, bar area, toilets, upstairs committee room and showers which are mainly used by visiting football teams during the Summer League season. There is a large car park around the Ganolfan; a children’s play area by the entrance, and a spacious football field on the higher land above the Ganolfan. The Canolfan is used weekly for a variety of activities, including line dancing, whist drives and bowling, religious meetings and also frequently for weddings, birthday parties, rehearsals, plays, concerts, meetings, lunches and Christmas fayres. The Ganolfan was recently very fortunate in receiving funding from the Clocaenog Windfarm Fund that has enabled us to modernise the building, which includes solar panels, additional insulation in the ceiling, new windows, tables and chairs. This means that it’s a very modern, spacious and multi-purpose amenity for the local area and beyond.
