Join Swansea In Gloom’s chief storyteller on a walking tour through the olde town and beyond. Learn about Swansea’s darkest secrets of murder, superstitions, debauchery and ghosts that lurk in every alleyway, as we unearth stories from the medieval past up until the mid 20th Century. You won’t see the city the same way again after you’ve heard these tales, as Olde Swansea is raised from the ashes of history.

Join us for a small, open, relaxed book club. We meet once a month on a Wednesday evening at HQ Urban Kitchen. Everyone is welcome. Each month, we read one book and meet up to discuss. It’s a casual friendly atmosphere where you can share your thoughts, hear other perspectives and discover new read. There is no strict structure and you don’t have to speak but everyone’s thoughts are valued. Drinks and snacks are available from the bar.
5:30pm -7:30pm Every Third Wednesday of the Month
