Theatr Clwyd is a major drama production company and regional arts venue located in Mold, Wales. It functions as a producing theatre, meaning it creates original stage productions in-house rather than just hosting touring shows. The complex features multiple performance spaces, including a main house and an intimate studio theatre. It underwent a major capital redevelopment project completed in 2024 to modernize its facilities and sustainability standards. The venue serves as a cultural hub for North East Wales, hosting drama, music, comedy, and film screenings. It maintains an on-site restaurant and bar facility integrated into the theater experience. The venue is purpose-built, designed to house its own resident technical teams, costume departments, and set construction workshops.
