Eyes on ITV Wales News at 6pm - there might be something you recognise on! 😂 no promises!

Brilliant morning down in the Fossil Forest for our staff team. It’s great to give everyone an opportunity to take part in the dig, we’ll all have a better understanding and appreciation for each part of the interesting story behind Stori Brymbo 😃

Pauline kindly sent this old newspaper clipping over, great niece of Tom Howell, pictured near the bottom.

Thanks,
Stori Brymbo Team!

What an incredible week! 🎉 Our team took the exciting steps from our offices at Enterprise Centre down onto the heritage site, marking the start of an amazing next chapter now that we have the green light 🚦🥳

As you can see, we're all thrilled and super motivated! 😃 With the youngest of the team on holiday, he got to be our Teletubby baby sun, sending some rays over to Brymbo for this special moment!

…and yes, Andrew and Colin looked at us and wondered what the heck we were doing ⁉️🤣 But holding hands and jumping across the threshold is perfectly normal 😁 You gotta do what you gotta do, am I right?

If you want to join us for this next chapter of an incredible journey, there are so many ways for you to get involved. Follow us to stay updated and check out our previous post to see what's coming up soon! 🚀✨

🌟 Happy World Volunteer Day! 🌟

A tremendous thank you to each and every one of our incredible volunteers! Your passion, dedication, and hard work make a world of difference to the Brymbo Heritage Project. Together, we're creating something truly amazing and unique. It’s great that we can share this journey (all 314 million years of it) with truly dedicated individuals.

We have people on the ground helping within the Heritage & Fossil Fossil Area, different locations across the local community projects and even behind the scenes in the office.

Our full board of Trustees are all voluntary and many of them are also highly engaged in the practical hands-on volunteering as well.

Then everyone pulls together when we have events to share our vision and story with the public.

Today, we celebrate YOU! 🙌🧡 On behalf of the Brymbo Heritage Trust team, thank you very much 🌟🤩

Here are some pictures of our volunteers in action over the past year!

Great set up here for the Christmas Fair today 😃

We’ll be down with a stand about the Heritage Project at the Christams Fair today. Pop in and see us for a chat 😊
