BEDWAS Workmen's Hall will host a free screening of the Women's World Cup final between England and Spain tomorrow, Sunday.
The Lionesses beat hosts Australia 3-1 earlier in the week, whereas Spain scored a last minute winner to edge past Sweden 2-1.
Doors will open at 10.30am, with the game kicking off at 11am. The game will be streamed for free from the Grade II listed hall, which is celebrating its centenary this year.
A century ago, miners came together and contributed a penny a week to help fund the hall’s construction.
This, combined with a grant from local colliery owner Sir Samuel Instone, saw its foundation stone laid on January 13, 1923.
To celebrate that day 100 years on, the hall hosted a screening of the 2014 film Pride – which, based on a true story, depicts the young lesbian and gay activists who rallied to support striking miners during the 1984 Miners’ Strike.
