Tywi Centre

The Tywi Centre is a heritage training and information centre based in Carmarthenshire. We provide traditional skills training, information and grants relevant to the built, natural and cultural heritage of Wales.

We can provide you with information and helpsheets on traditional building repair, rural trades and skills, biodiversity and cultural heritage. 

The Tywi Centre also runs a
Heritage Bursary Scheme. This is a-year long training course for craftsmen and women wanting to achieve an NVQ 3 Heritage in traditional carpentry, lime plastering or stone masonry.

We can also organise bespoke training so if have a group that you think would benefit from learning more about heritage skills and the Welsh environment
contact us to see what we can design for you. If you want to hold your own training event or meeting at the Tywi Centre please see our venue hire rates.

At the Tywi Centre we celebrate the heritage of Wales and work to make it better understood and maintained. Situated in one of the most important historic landscapes in Wales the Centre is in an excellent position to work to develop a better understanding of the landscape and to promote appropriate skills needed to look after it. 


The Tywi Centre projects have received funding and support through the Heritage Lottery Fund; the Rural Development Plan for Wales 2007-2013 which is funded by the Welsh Government and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development; Carmarthenshire County Council, The National Trust, and Natural Resources Wales.
