Visitors tour new arts venue
People were given the chance to see inside a new �7.5m arts centre in Caernarfon on Sunday weeks before the official opening.

A viewing day was held at Galeri - the town's new Creative Enterprise Centre in Victoria Dock.

The venue is due to be opened officially on 7 March.

But staff worked on Sunday to show visitors around the new centre which houses a 400 seat theatre and other facilities.

Meinir Llwyd, from Cwmni Tref who own the arts centre, said that people who visited the site were given a full tour of the venue and were able to obtain information about the opening season.

As well as the theatre, Galeri has a caf� bar, rooms for hire, rehearsal studios and art space.

Construction of the centre began in 2003 - seven years after the project was first conceived.

It was designed to fill a gap in the lack of theatre and cinema venues in that part of north Wales.
