From December 12-16, Tenby Museum and Art Gallery is opening its doors for free to National Lottery players.

The museum is one of 350 participating National Lottery funded visitor attractions across the UK saying ‘thanks’ to people who have raised money for good causes by buying a lottery ticket.

Tenby Museum and Art Gallery has received £9,900 from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The money has paid for the Tenby Remembers WWI project.

Ron Kerskale, chief executive of the Heritage Lottery Fund, said: “December is a wonderful time to experience the UK’s rich, diverse and exciting heritage, which has been transformed by more than £7bn National Lottery funding since 1994. This is a small gesture of thanks and a way of giving something back to the people who buy tickets.”

The idea is simple: any visitor who presents a National Lottery ticket or scratchcard between December 12 and 16 gets free entry to the museum and art gallery.

Mark Lewis, curator at Tenby Museum, said: “Thanks to National Lottery players we have been able to provide an excellent exhibition on Tenby during WWI as well as a fine publication.”
