LLANWRTYD & DISTRICT HERITAGE AND ARTS CENTRE

Our purpose is to establish and manage a Heritage and Arts Centre, housed in the former Congregational Chapel in Llanwrtyd Wells. By doing so we shall be preserving a landmark building of historical, religious, cultural and social significance to the Welsh community and advancing the education of the public in the history, geography, culture, environment and other features of life in our area.
