Accessibility at The Queens Hall Narberth future-proofed thanks to the Enhancing Pembrokeshire Fund
--
The lift servicing The Queens Hall Narberth has undergone a much-needed renewal this summer with thanks to the Enhancing Pembrokeshire Fund.
As well as the exciting live events programme, the Hall hosts a huge range of activities, classes, community groups and health & wellbeing sessions, plus services including hot desking, room hire and conferencing.
The variety of spaces across the 3 floors were used by over 250 groups in 2023 and with even more planned for 2024 and beyond, this exciting upgrade has ensured the much-loved venue remains a useful, flexible community space available to all.
Lara Herde, the venue manager said, “After 30 years of hard work, the lift was more than ready for a complete overhaul. We were thrilled to receive news of our successful bid to the Enhancing Pembrokeshire Fund which has allowed us to install an up-to-date, fully functional lift to support the access needs of our community, and to safeguard the sustainability of our building for existing and future users.”
Following a complete electrical refurbishment, the 8-person lift boasts efficient and modern mechanics, plus a sleek new interior and state of the arts safety features.
The upgrade is a very welcome step in the wider development of the facilities at the Hall. Ian Gravell, the Chairman of the Queens Hall Narberth trustees said,
“I am very proud of the Team for all their hard work on this project, which is part of a wider 5-year plan to further develop the facilities for our new and existing users. As we move forward into this exciting new period for the Hall, we are keen to hear more about the needs within our community and how the Hall can help to address them.”
