- Patti Pavilion
The Patti Pavilion is a venue in
Swansea for the performing arts located at Victoria Park to the south west ofSwansea city centre . The theatre stages various plays, pantomimes, musical shows and fairs.The venue is named after
Adelina Patti . The building was originally sited in her winter garden at Craig-y-Nos estate. Patti donated the building to the city of Swansea in 1918. It is a Grade IIlisted building .The pavilion has undergone a major £3m overhaul after it became clear the building wasn't being utilised to its "full potential". The project is funded by the City & County of Swansea and National Lottery Good Causes. (See news articles below) Work began in late 2007 to extend the Patti Pavilion with a new glass covered wing housing a café/restaurant.
