What’s On

Through the lens and beyond

Throughout October2025

In our amazing photography exhibition in our galleries throughout October two local photographers capture the beauty of the Welsh landscape in very different ways.

Heartland is a photographic love letter to Mid Wales by Llanwrtyd Wells based
photographer Andrew Dally who, through his lens, has deepened his connection to the outstanding beauty of the surrounding countryside. This exhibition of his work captures images from the area immediately around the town alongside both iconic and lesser-known vistas of wider Wales, landscapes that have inspired lifetimes of connection, curiosity and creativity. With the 85 th anniversary of the Epynt clearances the poignancy of the wild landscapes featured is of particular relevance.

Rob Walls exhibits very different, but equally mesmerising work. His expertise in taking a raw photograph then editing and reshaping the images so that they evolve, vividly textured and layered resulting in something completely unexpected is outstanding. Whether it is a photo of lonely landscapes, abandoned machinery, ruined man-made structures or a symphony of colour in a re-worked landscape Rob magnetically pulls the viewer into a world where photography is not just capture but creative resurrection.

To complement this unique exhibition, we are also delighted to welcome back Stone Hen Ceramics. Gill Oakley has had several successful exhibitions at the Centre displaying creations inspired by nature and moulded from porcelain and stoneware clays. Her work has been sold throughout Wales and in London

The Heritage Centre is open Thursday to Sunday 10am to 4pm – entrance free.
