Welcome to Pier Bae Colwyn

What We Do.

 WELCOME

Construction on the new Pier at Colwyn Bay commenced in July 2020. Despite being initially slated for completion in the summer, the erection of scaffolding and subsequent work on the 45-meter truncated Colwyn Bay pier were delayed. However, the project timeline was expedited, and the construction was successfully finished in July 2021.

THE VISION

Now the council has rebuilt the boardwalk, we plan to rebuild in full Colwyn Bay's Victoria Pier into a popular attraction at no extra cost to the taxpayer. Future designs will develop over time as ideas to pier content are put forward by us, and by the public,

Our plan will use as many parts of the original pier as possible that have survived. The newly transformed pier will play a major part in the regeneration of the town, beach and promenade, and be of great benefit to the area’s economy.

Would you like to share your memories of the Pier?

The story of Victoria Pier Colwyn Bay is going to be the subject of an ITV Wales documentary - “Vanished Wales”.


Colwyn Bay Pier Trust would like to hear from people who have fond memories of the pier as a visitor, a member of staff, a performer or in any one associated with the Pier. Do you remember going to the pier in the old days? Do you have a relative, no longer living in Colwyn Bay, who used to spend time on the pier? Did your parents meet on the Pier?


ITV producers will be selecting several of the memory providers to be interviewed for the programme which will be filmed mid August 2023 and is anticipated to be screened in January 2024.


If you or someone you know have any special memories and would like to be part of this programme then please get in touch with Colwyn Bay Pier Trust on the following email Memories@pierbaecolwyn.org using the form below.


We will make contact with everyone who gets in touch and those stories that don’t make it into the programme will form part of another memories project the Pier Trust are preparing.


Amy Dyke one of the Directors of the Pier Trust said “ We are delighted to have been asked to be the subject of an episode in Series 3 of this popular ITV Wales programme. The Pier has been part of Colwyn Bays history and culture for over 100 years and it is vital that the heritage of Wales is recorded in this way! We are thrilled that our campaign to find a solution to extend the current truncated pier is being recognised. The deadline for filming is quite near so please contact us as soon as possible.”


The Trust are continuing to fundraise to develop new plans to present to Conwy County Borough Council and Colwyn Bay Town Council. We have also engaged consultants to assist with plans and thank the public for their continued patience and support.

Llandudno Pier repair work continues

By M Austin • January 18, 2025
Llandudno Pier repair work continues- this is when it could reopen, (This is great news) LLANDUDNO PIER could reopen in some capacity this coming weekend, with most of its businesses to remain closed until February. The famous Victorian-era landmark was devastated by Storm Darragh in early December, with Kelly's Ice Cream parlour "completely” swept away , while a 150-year-old unit was "ripped off its foundations", with storm damage totalling an estimated £250,000. Llandudno Pier, which is owned by Tir Prince Leisure Group, have given an update on the work which has already been undertaken at the site. The gentleman’s toilet block will have its roof replaced, as the footing for the Kelly’s unit now been cleared and made safe. The roof to the bar at the end of the pier is currently being repaired after several sections were blown o One hut remains on its side, with another impacted hut requiring surveying. “Several” benches and tables which were damaged are in the process of being repaired, and repairs will shortly start on the steel work supporting the structure – 10-12 pieces under the café, bar and deck arcade were “significantly” damaged and will need replacing or reattaching. “The weather hasn’t helped in any way with the progress of the repairs and we have faced several hurdles so far as a result,” said Paul Williams, Llandudno Pier general manager. “We are looking at opening up the Pier as far as the The Crystal Hut by next weekend. “The shops will remain closed until February 1 and then hopefully back fully trading for the upcoming season. “We are trying our hardest to get the Pier back open fully as quickly, but as safely, as possible. “On behalf of the whole team, I would like to thank everyone for all their continued support, it’s greatly appreciated. I look forward to to welcoming everyone back in the coming weeks.” Thisarticle is from the North Wales Pioneer see HERE

Llandudno Pier Damaged By Storm

By M Austin • December 7, 2024
Heartbreaking news, as Llandudno Pier has been damaged by a 93mph gales! The owner of Llandudno's historic pier says it will be a "miracle" if it survives Storm Darragh. North Wales has been battered by fierce winds since the early hours of the morning - reaching 93mph in some areas. The famous pier has already suffered damage in the storms. One kiosk has been ripped from its foundations while others have suffered roof damage. But the biggest fear is once high tide is reached at the resort. If wind speeds remain very high this could see the whole structure swamped. High tide is at 2.42pm this afternoon. Wind speeds are expected to remain at close to 70mph in Llandudno for much of the afternoon, with gales blowing in from the north. Adam Williams, of Tir Prince, who has owned the site since 2015, said: "The weather is biblical. We have never known it so bad. The tide still has a long way to come in yet, if it survives it will be a miracle. "I am thankful we spent so much money over the summer reinforcing the underneath. It’s heart breaking to watch, so much good work can be undone in the space of a few hours.At 2,295 feet (700 m), the pier is the longest in Wales and the fifth longest in England and Wales. It attracts millions of visitors every year. Thank you to the Daily Post for this story. To read the article please see HERE
