BLACKWOOD GUIDE Independent ideas for your day out

A performance in the heart of the town / BLACKWOOD

Blackwood Miners’ Institute

Choose a show at the town’s long-established arts venue and make it the anchor of an evening out. The programme ranges across different kinds of live performance, so the event itself should guide your choice. Leave time for food nearby and a relaxed arrival rather than treating the building as a museum you can explore whenever you like.
