A light hearted and entertaining history talk about old pubs in the area.

More Information (Bro Radio is not responsible for external websites)

Bro Radio’s own Graham Loveluck-Edwards (off the telly!) is coming to The Blue Anchor to deliver a talk based on his best selling book "Historic Pubs of Wales". Hear some of the amazing stories of events that took place in pubs in the area.

It’s part of a tour running throughout January 2025 called "Historic Pubs, and all the madness that ensued therein".

As the name suggests, as much as these talks are based on history, the content is light and the delivery humorous and 'tongue-in-cheek'. Every old pub has a mad back story and in these talks you will get to hear the best of them, told by one of Britain's finest story tellers.

You will hear about all the incredible folklore and history tied up in these wonderful old buildings. Whose thatched roofs, darkened beams and log fires are saturated with stories from the past.

Revealing secrets such the Cardiff pub which bears the scars of a Tsunami, the Vale pub whose landlord was the most notorious pirate on the Severn Sea, the pub on the edge of the dunes with more ghost stories than Hampton Court and many many more.

We'll also be answering the age old question; which is the oldest pub in Wales? All washed down with your favourite tipple of choice.

Tickets available from grahamloveluckedwards.com or search on Eventbrite for historic pubs talk.
