Launching our new vision

​Thank you to everyone that came to see us at one of our events over the last month to engage people in our vision and help us finish our new artwork - a reborn Ruperra Castle and gardens by artist Haf Weighton. 

On 25 May we were sponsored at the Senedd by Hefin David, MS for Caerphilly, and chatted to Members of Senedd and the public. 

On 1 June we held a community event at Rudry Parish Hall and guests were able to either take part in an art workshop or walk to the Castle.

The interest in the Castle was fantastic and it was wonderful to meet so many new people.

Our vision is to protect Ruperra Castle and the environmental surroundings of this historic site from inappropriate development. We want to own the Castle and use a range of funding streams to: 

• repair the Castle as a roofed ruin so that it can be preserved for future generations 
• manage the gardens, grounds and outbuildings with a live-in caretaker 
• use it as a base for heritage, archaeology, gardening, and skills training
• commemorate key periods in its history
• encourage sustainable public access.
