Carmarthenshire Heritage Regeneration Trust
Llanelly House restoration project is under the Carmarthenshire Heritage Regeneration Trust.
The Trust’s objectives are for the benefit of the people of Carmarthenshire and the public at large:
· To preserve, restore and regenerate, the historical, architectural, constructional and environmental heritage that may exist in and around Carmarthenshire in buildings, sites or areas of particular beauty or historical, architectural, constructional or environmental interest.
To advance the education of the public in history, arts, culture and heritage or Carmarthenshire and the surrounding area.
To promote such charities or charitable purposes as the Charity may by unanimous resolution of its members from time to time decide.
Open Doors
In conjuction with Civic Trust Wales, Open Doors Days take place throughout September and offer the public free access to places and buildings of historic and architectural interest. Buildings which are normally free to visit offer something special. In 2010 over 300 sites took part and it was the first time that Llanelly House took part was last year.
The result of which took us by surprise after only opening for one weekend the Community Team showed 38 members of the public around Llanelly House, however, such was the demand that a further weekend in September was necessary which brought the total up to 81 people.
This success instigated the ‘Thursday Tours which operated between October 2010 and January 2011 where a total of a further 51 people viewed the house.
