Live music venue to open at old fire station and post office in Bridgend

A planning application to convert a former fire station and post office depot in Bridgend into a live music venue has been submitted to Bridgend County Borough Council. The Grade II listed property based in Derwen Road, Bridgend, was constructed back in the 1930s and has been left empty for around four decades.

The current proposals would see the site re-purposed with a number of internal and external alterations with a view to re-housing popular Bridgend music venue, Hobos, allowing it to move from its current location in Queen Street.

If given the go-ahead, the plans would see the creation of a dance floor, bar, stage and toilets based on the ground floor of the venue, with access directly from Derwen Road, with neon lights on the front and side of the building.
