A museum struggling to "keep the lights on" due to soaring energy bills has appealed to the public for help.The museum says that the risingis an independent charity which survives on grant funding but says its costs have quadrupled, and this no longer stretches far enough.
"We can't turn everything off because we have to have stable conditions to maintain the artefacts in the building."It reopened in 2022 after a £1.6m redevelopment scheme partly funded by a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, with the remainder of the money coming mainly in grants from other charitable bodies, and an annual grant from Llandudno Town Council.
Patrick Cunningham, a volunteer, said "this is the only place like this in Llandudno" and if it closed it would "leave a hole".
