A PLAY centre on Anglesey has re-opened yesterday (July 28) after the completion of a £1.3million refurbishment funded by the UK Government.
Holyhead’s Empire Play Centre is now one of the largest in North and Mid Wales, and can welcome more visitors, after a brand-new frame and extra facilities were installed.
PV Panels have been installed on the roof to reduce energy costs.
An extension houses a new party room, brand-new kitchen and improved toilet facilities, including private baby feeding room.
The refurbishment has also provided a new sensory room – a quiet space which can welcome individuals or a group of up to 10 people.

Works on the cinema were previously completed in February 2025.
Holyhead Town Council, which operates the building, appointed Anglesey-based OBR Construction following an open tender process to lead on the project which supported local employment and supply-chain opportunities.
An Isle of Anglesey County Council spokesperson said: "Anglesey Council were pleased to secure funding for the project, which forms part of its wider Town Centre Regeneration works.
"These are aimed at transforming key community culture and heritage assets, bring vacant properties back into use and reversing the decline of the town centre."
