Pavilion Project Hits Penarth High St

2009-06-01T02:28:00.000-07:00

We now have the use of a vacant shop front in Penarth High St - the site of the old Ferrari's Sandwich Shop!

Look out for the huge picture of the Pavilion in the window, our display boards and blue balloons next time you are out doing your shopping.

The shop will be open on weekends and staffed by our willing and dedicated volunteers who will be collecting names for the grand 'let's make it happen' petition.

If you would like to join the volunteer team, and actively help the project and make some new friends, please email contact@penarthpavilion.co.uk or info@washingtongallery.co.uk and we can fit you into the volunteering programme.

If you can spare 2 hours a month, you can use them to make a difference to your community by helping the Project.

17th April 2009 - First Presentation of The New Bid
The campaign to re-launch the new bid began on 17th April, when politicians from all parties met to see a range of marketing materials to raise community awareness throughout the Vale of Glamorgan. Guests included the AM for Cardiff South, Lorraine Barrett, the Minister for Education, Jane Hutt, Chris Franks AM, the Leader of the Vale of Glamorgan Council, Gordon Kemp, Councillor Chris Williams, and many other Vale of Glamorgan Council and Penarth town council representatives. The event was a great success, with a presentation of the new bid for 2009 well received with positive response all round.

The Pier Pavilion is an iconic landmark on the South Wales coast. We need your help and support to enable it's refurbishment and re-opening to public.

It will become both a focal point for the community as well as a centre of excellence for the environment, maritime and social history, heritage, education and entertainment.

The renovation will be funded from a variety of sources, and a third of the funding is already in place. Funding sources include the Vale of Glamorgan Council, and a grant which we hope to receive from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The finished building will include a restaurant/bar, a visitor and heritage/learning centre, a maritime museum, a function/meeting room, a multi-purpose arena, an observation tower, an auditorium/cinema and a Café.
