Hay Castle Trust is seeking a new Chair of Trustees.
Opened by the King in 2022 after rescue from ruin, a £7.5m restoration, and nominated RIBA Wales Building of the Year in 2024, Hay Castle’s serene interior belies a chaotic history that stretches over 900 years.
Thanks to major funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and many other generous funds and supporters we now thrive as a cultural hub that celebrates its years in ways that are sometimes playful, always surprising, thoroughly contemporary and often joyously offbeat.
From dungeon to tower top, diversions, animations, marble runs, costumes and automata bring stories and learning tumbling to life.
We stage major exhibitions and offer an all-year arts programme that includes creative workshops, fairs and festivals, music, theatre, opera, outdoor cinema, circus and pyrotechnics, as well as the unexpected.
We’re not bound by tradition, but shaped by it – to be forever fresh, always original, alive to the present; and excited by what we may become.
If this sounds like something you’d like to lead, you may well be the person we’re looking for!
