Ddisgrifiad / Description | The Theatre itself was opened in August 1901. Its greatest days were during World War Two when it was taken over by the evacuated B.B.C. Variety Department for a series of regular shows, including 'Happidrome' announced as 'coming to you from somewhere in Britain'. The Welsh National Opera gave their their First North Wales Season at the Grand in 1951, as part of the Festival of Britain Celebrations. By the time they returned to Llandudno, six years later, the Company had grown too big for the stage. It had stopped being used as a Theatre and it was in bad need of repair. Work began in the beginning of 1987, but fire gutted the building and work had to begin again. In 1988 the old Grand Theatre was re-launced as Revivals Nite Club.
