Trustee (x3)

Gregynog is a place of beauty, heritage, and inspiration and one of Wales’ most important cultural landmarks, which is now independently owned by the Gregynog Trust. Internationally famous as the former home of renowned art collectors, public benefactors and sisters, Gwendoline and Margaret Davies. ‘Gwen and Daisy’ shared an ambition for everyone to benefit from engagement with and access to Wales’ rich culture and outstanding environment, a vision that remains the beating heart of Gregynog today. Gregynog has also been described as one of Wales’ most unexpected treasures, with this Grade II-listed hall set in formal Grade I-listed gardens within an extensive special landscape setting at the heart of rural mid-Wales and the county of Powys, offering a truly unique and welcoming setting for everyone. A place where magic happens and where the Trust aims to create Wales’ most welcoming and cherished home for creativity, nature and the arts. Today, the estate is managed in a way that promotes nature recovery and public access, with the refurbished Hall providing 58 bedrooms for educational residential and day conferences, and access to a rich library and archives.
