HETTY Professionals Day - Sunday 12 July
Could you spare a few hours each month to help preserve an important part of South Wales’ mining heritage?
We are seeking new volunteers, particularly those with experience in engineering, mechanics, mining, local history, fundraising, marketing and communications, or accountancy, to support the promotion, maintenance and restoration of the 1875 Hetty Winding Engine House, and other surviving buildings on the former Great Western Colliery site in Pontypridd.
Attendees have a choice of two sessions, either morning or afternoon, which will include general tour and history of site and practical demonstrations / Q&As
Tickets are free, limited to 15 per session and will need to be booked via Eventbrite:

Other Open Days: If you would simply like to tour the site and learn more about this important part of our local industrial heritage, our regular open days also offer an excellent opportunity to discover the story of Hetty. Members of the public are warmly welcomed on the first Sunday of each month, from 2pm to 5pm.
Introduction to the site for potential volunteers with experience of engineering, mining, history, fundraising, marketing or accountancy.
