Set within the Old Porters Lodge, its exhibits explore everything from local celebrities to agriculture and the town’s contribution to Welsh affairs. Also on the campus is the Roderic Bowen Library, which houses the university’s special collections.

Occupying Lampeter’s old town hall is the Welsh Quilt Centre, which illustrates local quilting traditions and also highlights the farms and towns involved in their creation.

At 38 metres tall, it was constructed as part of an unemployment relief project and is now Grade II-listed as “one of the most prominent romantic monuments in the region”.
