Trinity builds on National Trust links
Trinity University College and the National Trust’s Newton House at Dinefwr Park and Castle have developed a range of opportunities for students to showcase and exhibit their work within the creative and performing arts.
As part of the University's Arts Festival, Vice Chancellor, Dr Medwin Hughes and Selina Carpenter, Visitor Operations Manager signed a Memorandum of Understanding which secures and develops the working relationship between the National Trust property and the University.
Dr Hughes said: “The University acknowledges the significant commitment by staff at Newton House to encourage, develop and support a range of events. We are grateful for their support and for the opportunities and experiences this kind of activity offers our students and staff.”
Work to date has included theatre performances, utilising Newton House as both a stimulus and setting for productions; musical recitals; theatre design exhibitions; projects for Teacher Training students; and work placement opportunities.
Selina Carpenter, Visitor Operations Manager Carmarthenshire for the National Trust, said: "Working with Trinity University College has brought life and energy into the property. The partnership has grown into a varied and exciting one. The involvement of staff, volunteers and students has brought the property alive and both parties have worked together with enthusiasm. We look forward to an ever-developing partnership."
Dr Hughes added: “The University looks forward to developing the relationship with Newton House in the future as the new University of Wales: Trinity Saint David is created and it is hoped that the house will be a venue for further major arts events in the forthcoming years."
