  WordPlay

  An evening of Poetry and Music

  Sat 16th Aug 2025 19:00

  An evening of poetry and music, and dinner.
  Word Play was forged among the rocks of the Preseli Hills and the west Wales coastline.

Inventive and lively, haunting and vividly imagined, their combined strengths are gentled by the sonorous grace of their language: Word Play, at its best.

  Word Play are: Annie Butler, landscape artist and award-winning poet; Paul Steffan Jones published poet; Paul Hayes folk si
