Tom Bullough - Wales, Climate and the Age of Saints

Monday, 14 October at 10.00am

Tithe Barn, Brecon Cathedral Close

In this session, Tom Bullough will be discussing his book Sarn Helen: A Journey Through Wales, Past, Present and Future: an account of a long walk up a former Roman road between the south and north coasts of Wales. He will explore some of the issues around the climate and nature emergency, as well as drawing lessons from the 5th and 6th-century Age of Saints that may help us navigate the next few decades. 

Based near Brecon, Tom is a writer of fiction, non-fiction and, most recently, the film Mr Burton. Sarn Helen won the 2024 Wales Book of the Year and the 2023 Waterstones Welsh Book of the Year.
