Photography at Portmeirion is unique, so we’re starting our new “days out” service here. Our photography days out are not a formal course, but designed to give you as much time as possible in this amazing environment, with expert hands-on tuition.

The astonishing estate in North Wales was built by the eccentric architect Clough Williams Ellis. Williams Ellis referred to it as his “home for fallen buildings,” as he was sent bits of buildings from all over the country.

It was used as the perfect backdrop for “The Prisoner” in the 1960′s, and more recently as the home of CBeebie’s Captain Adorable. We have the run of “the village” and the spectacular gardens. We can even access the camera obscura, which is not normally open to the public. Discounts are available for accommodation if you are having a photography day out – please ask at the village. For more details see the Portmeirion website.
