A special event will be held at Lloyd George’s home in Llanystumdwy next week to mark the centenary of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.

The First World War was officially brought to an end by the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919.

And 100 years on, a day of commemoration for school pupils and the wider public will be held in the Lloyd George Museum.

David Lloyd George, a Llanystumdwy native, was Prime Minister at the time of the signing, and played a huge role in discussions which led to the declaration of peace.

Children from Ysgol Llanystumdwy will welcome visitors to the museum on 28 June with the former prime minister’s personal draft copy of the Treaty. They will also be showing attendees the home in which Lloyd George grew up, Highgate, and explaining what kind of educational experience Lloyd George would have had as a child in the village.

On 28 June it is also Kids in Museums Takeover Day, a nationwide event encouraging museums, galleries, historic homes and heritage sites to hand over adult jobs to children and young people for a day.

Cllr Gareth Thomas, Gwynedd Council Cabinet member for economic development and community, said: “It’s great that Ysgol Llanystumdwy pupils will have the opportunity to commemorate 100 years since the Treaty was passed and to take an active role in the museum on the day.

“The connection between Ysgol Llanystumdwy and the museum is a close one, and it’s good to see this continuing through events such as Takeover Day, which gives the pupils a sense of ownership over their local museum and heritage.”

The Lloyd George Museum will be open to everyone, free of charge on the day. Pupils will be welcoming visitors between 10.30am and noon, and 1pm and 2pm.
