In June Fairfield House will host the first full meeting of the SW and Wales Africa Research Network. Conceived by Bath Spa and Exeter Universities, it brings together Africa research specialists of all disciplines from across all the region’s Universities.

Fairfield House is the only founding non-academic member, and the network chose Fairfield House as the ideal venue for its first full meeting. Bath Spa University was Fairfield House’s first institutional partner and a cornerstone in its transition to a serious heritage institution.

“Working with Universities is crucial for Fairfield House. We want to do more,” said chair of Trustees William Heath. “It brings academic rigour and valuable resources to our work to protect and celebrate HIM’s legacy.”
