Abergavenny Town Council has launched a new promotional video with a playful twist to raise awareness of the campaign to restore the historic Abergavenny Town Hall Clock and help safeguard one of the town’s most recognisable landmarks for future generations.
The video was officially released across Abergavenny Town Council’s social media channels last week and takes a fun, creative approach to telling the story of the clock and its importance to the town.
With a playful nod to the iconic film Back to the Future, the video takes viewers on a journey through time, celebrating the clock’s past while focusing firmly on its future and the community campaign to restore it.
For many people, the Town Hall Clock is about far more than telling the time. Its tower is an unmistakable part of Abergavenny’s town centre skyline, while the sound of its chimes has formed part of everyday life for generations of residents.
Significant restoration work is now required, and Abergavenny Town Council is calling on the community to get behind the campaign.
The Council hopes the video will help take the story of the clock to an even wider audience, reaching not only current residents but former residents, visitors, businesses and anyone who has a connection with Abergavenny.
Community support will be vital to the fundraising campaign, and every donation, share and conversation about the project will help raise its profile and bring the Council one step closer to restoring this important piece of Abergavenny’s heritage.
Residents are encouraged to follow the Council’s channels, watch and share the video, and help spread the story of this much-loved Abergavenny landmark.
The aim is to hear those familiar chimes ringing out across the town once again and to ensure that they remain part of the sights and sounds of Abergavenny for many years to come.
