Ceredigion Museum is wasting no time in cracking on with their plans for a new shop, Tourist Information Centre and café.
Carrie Canham, Curator, said “Now we have nearly all the money in place we’re keen to get started. It’s crucial to us that the new facilities meet the needs of our visitors, so we are having a coffee afternoon on Saturday 30 January 14.00 – 16.00, where anyone can drop in and chat to us and the architect about the plans. Last year forty people attended our planning open day to feed in to the proposals, we hope many of them will come back and help us put the detail into those initial designs to create an exciting new space, but one which is practical for everyone’s needs too.”
Ceredigion Museum, with the help of the Friends of Ceredigion Museum, has raised over £1million from the Heritage Lottery Fund and trusts and foundations for the New Approaches redevelopment project, which will help safeguard its future by increasing visitor numbers and generating income through the shop, café and performances in the Coliseum theatre. In addition, there will be lots of exciting ways people can get involved with the museum, from volunteering to participating in creative workshops.
The coffee afternoon will run from 2-4pm on Saturday 30 January at Ceredigion Museum, Terrace Road, Aberystwyth. If anyone would like to find out more about the project contact museum@ceredigion.gov.uk or pop in for a chat.
