During the summer, the museum organises a programme of guided heritage walks around Penmaenmawr.

Lowland walks are free to join and family-friendly, but donations to help with our insurance costs are always welcome. You can find details of our next lowland walk below.

There is a fee for the upland walks. Please see the information below.

Upland Walks

It has long been our ambition to work in partnership with a professional walk leader to develop a programme of upland history walks as a paid service that will contribute to the running costs of the museum. In 2026, this ambition came to fruition and we partnered with one of our members, Sean Gavin, to put together a programme of six mountain walks. As well as being a professional mountain walk leader, Sean formerly worked as a history teacher and he has a passion for the local landscape and heritage.

 

The programme of upland walks for 2026 has now been completed. The walks in our 2027 upland programme will be shown here in due course. For general information, the guided walks are £25 per person, and there is a 10% discount code for Friends of Penmaenmawr Museum.

Winter Lecture Programme 2026-27

The museum organises a programme of six history-themed talks/lectures every year.  The programme takes place from October to April. Start time is 7.00pm on the 3rd Wednesday of the month (not December).

We are pleased to announce details of the Penmaenmawr Museum Winter Lecture Programme for 2026/2027. Please see the graphic on the left.
