Parc Howard Museum is now open after some extensive renovations to the building. Inside, you'll be welcomed in a brand-new, accessible visitor reception with gift shop selling hot drinks, snacks and ice creams. You can now enjoy these on our lovely outdoor seating overlooking the beautiful park. The refurbished galleries on the ground floor include a painting gallery full of treasures from the collection and a new Llanelly Pottery Stories exhibition that was inspired by our work with the local community. Upstairs, you'll find our Imaginarium, which is full of Victorian games and inventions with which you can play or be inspired! There's also the new Llanelli Story gallery, which shows how our great town continues to reimagine itself.
Free entrance. A wonderful small municipal museum and art gallery set in a beautiful park. Perfect for children as it's a manageable size and with an excellent hands-on science area upstairs. Friendly and helpful staff. Good collection of paintings.
Beautiful place, ground workers hats off to them loads of squirrels, a massive open area, gutted the Museum aint open, the front gates say they are open intill 9pm the back gates say 8.30pm, toilet always open, but hand dryer in the mens toilets dont work, 2 parks for the kids, a tennis court, 2 bowling greens, shop for food sweets drinks close at 3pm, a small pond with one greylag goose
Lovely place, open and quiet but toilets, museum and other areas closed on a Saturday. We used the play area which was up the back right passed the small duck pond and museum which was quite decent but did have scaffolded off areas with no explanation. We did enjoy our visit and will be going back. Great little sand out to bring beach toys to in the park play area also. Flowers in most areas were looking great!
Parc Howard, nestled in the heart of Llanelli, offers a delightful blend of history, art, and community engagement. Here's what stood out during my visit: Renovated Galleries: The ground floor galleries have undergone extensive renovations, breathing new life into this historic building. Inside, a brand-new, accessible visitor reception welcomes you, complete with a gift shop offering hot drinks and snacks. Treasures from the Collection: The painting gallery houses a treasure trove of artworks from the collection. From classic landscapes to contemporary pieces, there's something for every art enthusiast. Keep an eye out for local gems--artists inspired by the Llanelli community. Llanelly Pottery Stories: The new exhibition celebrates Llanelly Pottery, a local legacy. Learn about its history, craftsmanship, and impact on the community. Engage in family-friendly activities like dressing up, sketching, and even paper pottery making. Community Connection: Parc Howard thrives on community involvement. It's a space where locals and visitors come together to appreciate art, culture, and heritage. Can you design your own Llanelly Pottery masterpiece? Give it a try! In summary, Parc Howard is more than a museum--it's a vibrant hub where the past meets the present. Take a leisurely stroll through its grounds, soak in the art, and embrace the sense of community.
A public park with beautiful grounds, a bowling green and a new kiddies' playground. The mansion is pleasant and there's an interesting free exhibition inside. It's just a shame there's no cafe, although the mansion does sell a few drinks and ice lollies. The grounds and gardens are beautiful at this time of the year (spring) and the grounds staff keep it looking stunning.
Lovely, varied walks on this stunning park. Maintained by enthusiastic staff plus volunteers. They do a grand job. It's a pity the old bandstand is in bad repair and no longer in use. It must have been magnificent in its heyday. A wonderful fairytale playground, structures made from wood, is a delight for infants. Tennis courts behind serve older enthusiasts. A 'secret', sunken memorial garden with two benches gives the opportunity to sit and reflect. An extensive field is an open playground for all, dogs alike. My Nell demands to be brought here on an almost daily basis. Unfortunately she isn't allowed into the museum in the hall. Another pleasure still awaits me.
