Theatre preservation group has included five Welsh buildings in its annual Theatre Buildings at Risk Register.

According to the Trust's Theatres Database, there are approximately 2,000 extant theatre buildings in the UK, though not all are in use. In 2010, 55 of these buildings are on the Theatre Buildings at Risk Register - 43 of which are in England, seven in Scotland and five in Wales.
