OUR VISION

Custodians for Future Generations

​

The post-pandemic world needs open spaces, it needs to continue the creative process that has kept us all going during lockdown and it needs to rebuild the economy too. We are all in different stages of rehabilitation and we recognise that we cannot continue living the way we did. 

More than ten years ago we began to recognise the need to slow down and spend time together as families and these qualities have informed the primary requirements of our ethos and designs across the Kilmahew Estate.

WHAT WE DO

The Kilmahew Education Trust are hoping to unify the wide array of architectural gems that cover many centuries, into a single programme that is accessible to all generations. The Kilmahew Estate is far more than the Seminary complex alone.The architecture and landscape have  multiple tangible and intangible assets which we would like to explore in order to provide life long learning to visitors. We would want to offer education in the broader sense to children in pre-school through to adults and to provide the opportunity for continuous professional development and scientific and historical research. 


The Kilmahew Education Trust would also like to provide and promote commercial enterprise, skills and training and job opportunities for young people entering a crowded and competitive job market. The architectural elements all contribute strongly, yet discreetly, with these ambitions.
