Brief Description:

The Ty Siamas building was built in 1870 on the site of the old market place on Dolgellau Square. Originally it was a Market Hall and Assembly Rooms, but has also been used as a grain store during the First World War, then a cinema and for most of the 20^th century it became a dance/disco hall. At the present time it is the National Centre for Welsh Folk Music and has an interactive exhibition on Welsh traditional music, as well as an auditorium which hosts regular concerts.
