Our spaces

Primarily a sports hall, with a meeting room, kitchen and toilet facilities. It houses the community fridge, Dillad Dwywaith — our recycled clothes rail — and the community garden.
More
The recreation ground beside Canolfan Dyffryn; the Lower Welfare Park; and parkland and a woodland walk fronting onto Dyffryn and Dolwyn beaches, which forms part of the “safe route to school”. We also manage all three public car parks in the village — all donations are used to support the hall.
Our history
The Lower Welfare Park was gifted to the community. The original village hall was a small building on what is now Bryn Seion car park.
The Village Hall Committee was formed to build the existing village hall, then merged with the Welfare Committee to form the Aberporth Village Hall and Welfare Committee.
The smaller Festival Hall was added in the early 1950s, along with parcels of land at Penrodyn and the woodland near the beach. The charity was established under a trust deed in 1951.
Canolfan Dyffryn was built with SportsLot funding, initially as a youth club managed by a separate charity which later deregistered.
Changing demographics led AVH to take on the management of Canolfan Dyffryn.
The current committee restructured and launched a project to rebuild the village hall, which was in very poor condition.
The new Aber-porth Village Hall is open!
