EVENT: Aberystwyth University Founders' Day Celebration

Date: Wednesday 25 October 2017

Time: 17.30 - 19.45

Description: Together with representatives from the University, the National Assembly for Wales and the Cardiff community, Aberystwyth University is celebrating its past, present and future by bringing its Founders’ Day celebrations to Cardiff and its iconic Pierhead building. Founders’ Day is an annual celebration that marks how the University has been making history since the 1850’s, when a small group of patriots, led by Hugh Owen, a London Welshman, raised enough money by public and private subscription to establish a college of university status in Wales.

Open to the public: The event will take place outside our normal opening hours therefore attendance will be by invitation only
