THE TWYFORD is a performing arts, visual arts and community venue located in Merimbula on the Sapphire Coast of NSW Australia.

We work, meet and perform on the lands of the Djiringanj people. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and to all First Nations people visiting and working in our venue.

Heritage listed Twyford Hall was built on this site in 1931 by the people of the town on land that is still held in Trust for the community of Merimbula.

The Supper Room and two small rooms at the front of the Hall were added in the 1950s.

2 retails shops were added in 2010 and a commercial grade kitchen was added in 2015.

A new Theatre and Foyer Bar/Cafe were added in 2025.

We host professional touring and community performances, rehearsals, meetings, exhibitions, conferences, arts markets and workshops, functions, book launches, community events and film & music festivals.
