Portmeirion Centenary Talks 6: Meurig Jones

The Creative and Celebrity Attraction of Portmeirion

As part of the Centenary celebrations for Portmeirion, the Susan Williams-Ellis Foundation (YSWEF), which is responsible for running the historic house and arts centre at Plas Brondanw, have organised this series of talks on aspects of the village’s history

Since the beginning, Portmeirion has always attracted creative visionaries, who would be inspired by Sir Clough’s vision and wonderful sense of humour. For many, his ‘working with nature‘ ethos was enthralling. The talk will discuss Portmeirion’s many roles in film, television, and music. The stories will include Danger Man, The Prisoner, and The Beatles

Meurig Jones is Portmeirion’s Locations Manager and has worked in the Village since 2004. That so many of Meurig’s heroes were inspired by Clough’s vision and then The Prisoner, has been inspiring him to collect the creative and celebrity stories of famous people’s time here, be they at work… rest… or play.

Tickets are priced at £15, £20 and £25. We hope these events will generate some income for YSWEF – a charitable foundation that aims to preserve and promote the Susan Williams-Ellis and other related archives, and to promote the arts – so please pay what suits your budget. There is no difference in terms of seating or provision for the different ticket types, everyone gets the same talk. Ticket price includes admission to Portmeirion from 4pm. Doors open at 5:00pm and the talk will commence at 5:30pm. This series will be through the medium of English.
