THANK YOU ARTS COUNCIL OF WALES

2021-11-29T10:32:18+00:00

This summer, here at the Melville we were really pleased to be successful in our application  to the Arts Council for Wales for Cultural Recovery funding. We've done marvels with it:  been able to re-decorate the main corridor,  & the loos, thank goodness, we've re carpeted everywhere and installed the drama library in the built in  Victorian shelving in Meeting Room2. We've also had help  to totally reorganise the props sheds, so much so that we were able to send a 'sea set', complete with lobster pots, anchors, nets, down to the WMC last week   for the schools' 'Powerful Interventions' pop ups at the Festival of [...]
