Welcome to the

Talbot Community Centre

The Talbot Community Centre is a former Miner's Institute and a true community centre, as it is owned and run by the local community, for the community and most of the people involved are volunteers.

The former Talbot Miners' Welfare Institute, was a gift to the village from the Talbot family in 1911, it remained as a Miners Institute until the last colliery in Kenfig Hill closed in 1959, it then fell into disrepair and was closed for several years before a group of community volunteers decided something needed to be done with the landmark building.

After receiving grants from groups like the Big Lottery and other support the Grade II listed building was reopened in 2005.

Our Community Centre stands as a vibrant hub for connection, creativity, and growth. Located at the heart of our neighbourhood, it offers a welcoming space where individuals of all ages and backgrounds can come together to learn, socialise, and engage in a variety of activities. With its diverse programs and events, our centre is dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging, promoting personal development, and enhancing the well-being of everyone in the community. Whether you're here to take part in fitness classes, attend workshops, or simply meet new friends, there's always something happening to enrich your experience. 

We have prided ourselves on the variety of groups using the centre on a weekly basis from Bingo, Health and Wellbeing, Slimming World, Tots & Toddlers sessions to name but a few. Mynydd Cynffig Women’s Institute also meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.

We are also open to private bookings for holding various types of parties, and other events, please call for more details.       

Details regarding the activities offered is available on our Weekly Diary page here.
