Councillor Nick Coultish, cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism, said, “This event is a great way for people to see the impressive improvements to Champney Treasure House and to also see exactly what is on offer. If you have not seen the renovations to the site, come and have a look around, and you may find something new to explore.”
There is no need to book for this event, just turn up. To find out more about the Champney Treasure House Welcome Day, please visit eryc.link/CTHWelcomeDay.
