Creativity, arts and culture are in Cardigan's DNA. Mwldan is at its heart. A vibrant centre for the arts, and an independent, registered charity, we've been celebrating the local and the global since 1983. With a vibrant year-round programme of live performances and a diverse film programme across our three screens, we welcome over 250,000 people a year through our doors here in Cardigan, with many more experiencing our work through our touring productions and recorded releases worldwide.
