temperance hall
Repurposing of this Grade II listed building will create a new arts facility for the community and support local creative businesses as part of the regeneration of our historic town centre.
We will be restoring and repurposing Temperance Hall to create a new community printworks which is set to open in summer 2025. This will include providing an exhibition space, print and design workspaces, and a well-equipped workshop with traditional printing presses that will host an exciting programme of courses.
The building was purchased in February 2024 through the UK Government’s Community Ownership Fund, and current renovations are being funded by Pembrokeshire County Council via the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund. The exterior is about to be repainted with the support of Pembrokeshire County Council’s Streetscape scheme. The colours have been chosen by the public at our open days in agreement with PCC’s Conservation Officer – watch this space!
By re-inventing Temperance Hall, we want to help restore Haverfordwest as a vibrant and exciting place to live, work and visit. Similar community printworks established in other towns have quickly become successful centres for fun and accessible art making for everyone who wants to have a go, as well as providing access to specialist equipment for professional printmakers.
Where is Temperance Hall? Up the High Street, turn right just in front of St Mary’s Church and Temperance Hall is on the right, next to Pure West Radio.
