Engedi 2.0 is restoring a historic Welsh chapel in Caernarfon as a home for learning, making, culture, wellbeing, and community action.
Capel Engedi is being restored in stages. The long-term vision is a community-owned space for learning, making, culture, and wellbeing. Right now, we are building support, developing projects, and raising funds to protect the chapel's future.
For generations, Welsh chapels were places where people gathered, learned, debated, created, and supported one another. Engedi 2.0 carries that role into the 21st century.
The project brings together technology, creative arts, wellbeing, and Welsh culture in one connected space, so local people can build skills, confidence, and community resilience.

Caernarfon has deep cultural strength, but many people still lack access to spaces where they can learn new skills, create work, connect with others, and shape their future.
Engedi 2.0 exists to help close that gap. It will offer practical opportunities for young people, local residents, artists, makers, volunteers, and community groups.
