Artful HISTORY

Wales' Oldest Art Gallery: Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw has recently celebrated its centenary-and-a-half making it not only one of Wales－ most picturesque art venues but also its oldest. Nestling in the village of Llanbedrog on the Llŷn Peninsula, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the Gothic styled Mansion was built in 1857 as a Dowers house for Lady Elizabeth Jones Parry of the Madryn Estate. Indeed Lady Love Jones Parry’s ghost is occasionally seen walking the upper landings.

Today we house monthly exhibitions by premier artists from Wales and beyond. You can also enjoy adult and kids art workshops, concerts, lectures, craft fairs along with many other activities throughout the year.
