Audiences Wales provides a range of tactical and strategic marketing services
for a wide range of organisations, from opera companies to galleries, to amateur
theatre companies and museums. Audiences Wales was created as a result of a
merger that took place in April 2005 between Cardiff Arts Marketing (CAM), Valleys
Arts Marketing (VAM) and Marketing the Arts in Swansea and Carmarthenshire (MASC).
The three agencies had each been undertaking research and development work for
the arts and cultural industries for over 25 years, and had built up an impressive
range of expertise and experience, which has now been made available to an even
larger number of cultural organisations through the creation of Audiences Wales.
Audiences Wales are not able to write your press releases and direct mail, or
produce posters for you. However they are able to advise on these through training
workshops, factsheets, over the phone or on visits by AW officers. If you are
interested in the services offered by Audiences Wales, or need any more information,
please contact us.

The Adelina Patti Theatre is a Grade 1 listed Opera House, located within Craig
Y Nos Castle in the Upper Swansea Valley. The Castle was once the home of legendary
19th Century opera singer, Adelina Patti and the Theatre was built for the singer
as her own private auditorium. It is now the base of the Opera School Wales.
The School hopes very much to renovate the Theatre, in time, and restore it
to its full glory. At present, the Theatre remains the only private Theatre
in the UK still in its original condition. The School promotes monthly fund-raising
events in the Theatre, with performances ranging from fully-staged operas to
classical music concerts, often accompanied by a theatre supper. The Adelina
Patti Theatre is a charming and unique venue, presenting high quality events.
Full details of all monthly events are available on application or on the Web
