Friends of Parc Howard Llanelli Museum

Bath stone two-storey building with a tower stands in the middle of a park. Green lawns with beds of pink and red flowers fill the foreground.

The Friends of Parc Howard Llanelli Museum organisation has been in existence since 1995 and was set up with the aim of raising interest in Llanelli’s past through the Museum. They also aim to bring more people into Parc Howard Museum through talks and events.

Their successful fundraising and other activities have allowed them to help the Museum with the purchase of significant objects for the collection. Past objects include artefacts from Buckley's Brewery and the 1896 Llanelli Eisteddfod chair.

Take a look at some other objects the Friends have helped to fund below.
