Join us in exploration of the hundred-year history of Portmeirion Village, the unique site designed by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis.

The talk will be illustrated with archival highlights and photographs from Sarah Baylis’s new book, Portmeirion: The Architecture of Pleasure.

In addition to her book, two visual guides have been published to mark the centenary: The Buildings of Portmeirion (Rachel Hunt) and The Sculpture of Portmeirion (Diane Bilbey). Dipping into all 3 publications, Rachel will share some recent discoveries, personal highlights, and previously unpublished material spanning Portmeirion’s hundred-year history.

Rachel Hunt began her career with the National Trust in 1995. She worked at Cotehele, Cornwall before embarking on a sabbatical placement at Portmeirion, which led to her current role as Collections Curator both there and at Plas Brondanw. She has an MA in Museum Studies and is an Associate of the Museums Association.
