7.00pm at The Castle Hotel

Jackie Morris and Tom Bullough will be talking about their book Sarn Helen, the climate and nature emergency and what lessons we might take from the 5th and 6th-century Age of Saints to help us navigate the next few decades. They will also talk about their latest projects, Wales, seals, curlews, rivers and the role that writers and artists must play in the face of the current crisis.
