Monmouth Community Culture

Monmouth for Culture

Monmouth – it's not just the rolling hills and the serene River Wye that make this town a lovely spot in Wales. If you're looking for a dose of culture or an evening of entertainment, Monmouth's theatre and cinema scene is like the cherry on top of its picturesque cake.

Let's start with The Blake Theatre. It's a vibrant hub where creativity blooms and evenings are filled with the thrill of live shows. Whether you're in the mood for a play that makes you ponder life or a musical that has you tapping your feet, The Blake Theatre serves it up with community spirit. And it's not just about watching performances; this place is all about getting stuck in. With workshops that might have you uncovering a hidden talent and conferences for your professional needs, this is a space that has something for everyone.

But hang on, there’s more... Stroll down to Church Street and you’ll find the Savoy Theatre. This isn't just any old theatre – it's steeped in history, reputed to be the oldest working theatre site in Wales. Imagine watching a film or a play where generations before you have been entertained. That's 360 seats worth of stories and memories in a building that's proudly a Grade II* listed gem.

The Savoy doubles as a cinema too, which means you can catch the latest films or old classics in a venue that's far from your cookie-cutter multiplex. Think character, charm, and a community-run vibe. Being one of the 24 buildings on the Monmouth Heritage Trail, a trip to the Savoy is also a tick. But living here means being able to visit many times over.

So, for those living in or moving to Monmouth, just think: your time could be filled with a little more drama with just the right amount of screen play. Here, the stage and screen are not just forms of entertainment; they're pillars of the community, offering a chance to connect, reflect, and just have a really good time.

Services

Commercial

Being a central and popular business within Monmouth, we are often asked by clients who have experienced our residential success to manage their commercial needs. The result is that we have an impressive level of success selling and renting a range of investment properties including single plots and development land, woodland, shops, warehouses, offices, and pubs.

Group Holiday Lettings

Big House Holiday Lets is an independent company co-owned and run from the offices of RRK by Lewis Scott. The company specialises in letting large houses for groups of up to 30 people for friends and family get-togethers, birthdays, or anniversaries. Services offered include “meet and greets”, check outs, cleaning, maintenance and laundry. We speak to our guests rather than booking online to ensure that the houses are respected and looked after.

Mortgages

Strategically funding your property purchase can be an important factor to consider when buying a property. As a buyer, having an agreement in principle in place before a viewing will stand you in better stead when negotiating with the vendor. We have connections to established mortgage brokers who can compare the market for you, offering third party advice on what product would be best for you depending on your personal circumstances.

Conveyancing

There are a number of factors that can influence the timescale involved in transferring ownership of a property from seller to buyer. We work closely with a number of local solicitors who provide a helpful and efficient service designed to be stress-free for our customers. Our recommended solicitors pro-actively work to best protect your interests and ensure legal title is transferred as quickly as possible. A member of our team would be happy to provide details of our recommended contacts.

Surveys

Once you’ve had an offer accepted on a property, you’ll be wondering whether you need a house survey and if so, which one. A property survey is optional and not always required, but it can help you avoid expensive and unwanted surprises, as well as giving you peace of mind. We work with several local, qualified and experienced surveyors who offer a range of different survey types to suit different needs – simply ask a member of our team for more details.
