As Tenby Museum and Art Gallery nears its 150th anniversary, they're seeking a new chair and trustees to guide its future - with applications welcome from all backgrounds.

The Museum which sits on Castle Hill is currently seeking to appoint a new Chair as well as three other Trustees with particularly skills in the areas of - business, law, IT and marketing, however, the Board welcomes expressions of interest from anybody wishing to gain experience of being part of a charitable organisation.

The role of Chair and Trustee are voluntary, but highly rewarding.

As the Museum approaches its 150th anniversary in 2028, the Board of Trustees is aiming to build on its strengths and align itself to be a relevant and inclusive Museum and Art Gallery for visitors and the local communities to learn about, engage and connect with their heritage.

The current improvement work has been a positive start in making the building fit for purpose and providing a much-needed face lift to the exterior, but with the loss of Government grants, due to their own financial pressures, and the cost-of-living increase, which has impacted on people’s spending ability, Tenby’s museum like many museums and heritage organisations across the UK, has struggled to survive over the past few years.

So, if you feel you would like to offer your skills and be part of shaping Tenby Museum’s future, the Board of Trustees would like to hear from you.

Please send your expressions of interest to [email protected] by March 31.

The Museum is also still in search of passionate volunteers to support its operations and engage with visitors.
