Peter Stevenson tells the folk tales of the sea along the Welsh Coast Path. Meet the lovesick mermaid of Llanina, the water horse of Oxwich Bay, the submerged land of Llys Helig, the utopian world of Rhys's children in Cardigan Bay, the giant Skomar Oddy who cleaned up Milford Haven, Jemima the Fishguard shoemaker who prevented the Last Invasion of Wales, the Kings of Bardsey Island, Cranogwen the mistress mariner of Ceredigion, the pirate Leekie Porridge of Tenby, the cockle women of Penclawdd, the Swan Girls of Barry Island, the Lady of Ogmore, the Beaver of Conwy, the drunken mermaids of Cardigan Bay, and Siani Chickens who lived in the no one's land between the high tide and the cliffs on the beach at Cei Bach where she paid rent to no one.

A free event.
