Ally Pally is launching its 10-year Strategic Plan – one of the Plan’s key objectives focusses on creating new career pathways through heritage crafts.

Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion with heritage experts Faye Davies (Burrell Foley Fisher); architectural historian Neal Shasore; Lewis Proudfoot (Cliveden Conservation); and Ally Pally’s Head of Property Iain McDonald. Completing the line-up is Hannah Parham (Historic England), who will chair the conversation, teasing out why the learning and passing-down of heritage crafts, like stonemasonry or lime plastering, can act as a social anchor and why a career in heritage skills can be so fulfilling.
