Part of Rethinking High Streets, an exciting day of talks, tours and networking at Haverhub, the former Post Office in Haverfordwest.

The decline of the High Street is a recurrent theme in the news, but many organisations are trying to reverse this trend by restoring old town centre buildings and giving them vibrant, viable new uses that are attractive to their communities.

Join us at Haverhub, Haverfordwest’s former post office, for a day that is jam-packed with talks, tours and networking with those who have completed projects and those who are helping to shape the future of High Streets in Wales. This part of the Network’s Rethinking High Streets programme of events throughout the UK.

Here’s what, and who, you can expect on the day:

– Welcome from Adam Hitchings, Heritage Trust Network trustee and the Architectural Heritage Fund’s Development Manager for Wales

– Nell Hellier, Senior Built Heritage Officer at Carmarthenshire County Council – What have old buildings ever done for us?

– Cris Tomos, Enterprise and Business Co-ordinator at Planed, on their experience of restoration/regeneration projects, community shares and community ownership models

– Gitti Coats, Project Director, on Haverhub’s journey from post office to community hub

– Jen Heal from the Design Commission for Wales – Form, activity and meaning: Placemaking and the role of historic buildings

– Networking lunch
