Bickering Bishops

During the summer last year, we were busy collecting people’s memories of the park and the palace over the decades. These memories will be saved and shared on the ‘Casgliad Y Werin’ website.

As part of the ’15 Minute Digital Heritage’ project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, a group of young people came together to create a short film, based on the stories collected. The crew had the opportunity to learn about creating stories, scripting and all aspects of filming over 6 busy days at the end of the summer holidays. A horror comedy parody was created based on the life of the last three Bishops to live in the palace. Thanks to Akron Film Production and the actors who took part and thanks also to our volunteer Dilys who was willing enough to be part of the fun! Thanks also to Carmarthenshire Museum who were part of the project and allowed the interior filming to be done in the Old Palace.

We hope you enjoy watching ‘Bickering Bishops’!

(N.B. The film is a piece of fiction and does not represent the true history of the site)
