💼 What the programme involves
Gregynog Hall is a historic country house deep in the hills of rural mid Wales, which for generations has been at the heart of Wales’ educational, arts & peace movements. In 2019, this beautiful Estate passed into the care of the newly formed Gregynog Trust, whose aim is to re-establish the Hall as a centre for creativity and learning, and global thinking – inspired by Gregynog’s unique heritage and natural environment www.gregynog.org
Gregynog is looking for volunteers with a keen interest in heritage, arts and conservation to support the team with: Day-today running of the venue (including shop, café and accommodation), supporting visitors and assisting with a wide range of events. On site heritage research, curating displays and public information about Gregynog’s history. Digitising archives and records from the Library. Hands on environmental conservation work in the gardens and wider estate. Blog features and social media profile. Educational and community engagement activities
