A museum is seeking public assistance to cope with the increasing energy costs that are putting a strain on its finances. The museum, which relies on grant funding, has seen its energy bills quadruple, making it difficult to sustain its operations. Despite the financial challenge, the museum cannot reduce energy usage as it needs stable conditions to preserve its artifacts. The museum reopened in 2022 after a redevelopment project, but the rising energy costs have become a significant threat to its survival.

"We can't turn everything off because we have to have stable conditions to maintain the artefacts in the building."It reopened in 2022 after a £1.6m redevelopment scheme partly funded by a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, with the remainder of the money coming mainly in grants from other charitable bodies, and an annual grant from Llandudno Town Council.
Patrick Cunningham, a volunteer, said "this is the only place like this in Llandudno" and if it closed it would "leave a hole".
