Llandudno Museum offers new tourist information service

In conjunction with tourism body North Wales Tourism, Llandudno Museum and Gallery will offer a comprehensive range of tourist information, and has staff and volunteers who are able to offer advice on places to visit.

The new service comes after Llandudno Tourist Information Centre ceased trading at the town's Victoria Shopping Centre, ahead of its move to Venue Cymru.

The tourism hub, which is run by Visit Conwy, a subsidiary of Conwy Council, is being relocated as part of the council's controversial plans to relocate Llandudno Library and other amenities to Venue Cymru.

Mary Oliver, chair of the museum’s trustees, said: “This will be an excellent opportunity for both visitors and residents to access information about attractions in the town and the surrounding area.

"At the museum we have a wealth of local knowledge to draw upon to assist people seeking information to help them enjoy their stay here.”

Jim Jones, chief executive of North Wales Tourism, said: “I am delighted to learn that the trustees of Llandudno Museum have decided to establish a dedicated Visitor Information Point within the museum.

“The museum’s central location and high footfall make it an ideal setting for this initiative.

"Not only will it provide visitors to Llandudno and North Wales with helpful information about the area, it will also help raise the profile of the museum and generate additional footfall to this important cultural attraction.”

Work will start imminently to enable the new service, with the aim of opening it before the end of May.

The museum is open to the public from 10am to 4pm from Tuesdays to Saturdays.
