A fun-packed programme of education and activities is being developed by the new Education and Events Officer at Oriel y Parc Landscape Gallery, St Davids.
Art, geography, science and tourism are among the subjects being covered by Luci Williams for the £3million gallery and visitor centre which opens later this year.
Luci was appointed by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, which owns and will manage Oriel y Parc.
Along with the gallery exhibits, it is hoped the education and activities programme will encourage people to learn about and understand the landscape and culture of the National Park and inspire them to get out and explore it.
The centre will house exhibitions featuring the world-class arts treasures of Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales, where Luci previously worked as an education facilitator.
Luci said: “I'm thrilled to be in this position, it has been a life-long dream to be in this occupation and I'm very much looking forward to working with schools and community groups for Oriel y Parc.”
Luci is contacting teachers and community organisations from across Pembrokeshire and beyond, with the aim of forming focus groups to help develop the education programme over the autumn. It is hoped the formal schools programme will be launched in the new year.
“The education programme will be cross-curricular, so we will have activities based on art, science, geography, and even things like archaeology and GNVQ tourism,” added Luci.

“But it won't only be schools-based, there will be non-stop activities on offer for people of all ages and abilities.”
Luci is keen to hear from anyone interested in the development of the education programme. She can be contacted on 0845 345 7275.
The gallery project - the largest construction project ever undertaken by the National Park Authority - is funded by:
- The European Union's Objective 1 Programme
- The Welsh Assembly Government's Pathway to Prosperity
- Invest Wales
- Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform
- Department for Economy and Transport
- Plus partnership contributions from Amgueddfa Cymru and the National Park Authority
