Saturday 2 September, 6.15pm, Tythe Barn: John Metcalf in conversation
Saturday 2 September, 7.30pm, Bradenstoke Hall: Lontano – John Metcalf 60th Birthday Concert

The Arts Centre at St Donats must have one of the most stunning locations of any arts centre in the UK. Its imposing glass structure overlooks the sea and contrasts dramatically with its neighbour, the fourteenth century St Donats Castle. The Castle and its grounds, restored by William Randolph Hearst in the 1920s and 1930s, are now home to the students of the United World College of Atlantic.

Ewenny Priory Church, Ewenny

Wednesday 30 August, 6.15pm: Peteris Vasks in conversation with Geraint Lewis
Wednesday 30 August, 7.30pm: Latvian Radio Choir – candlelit concert

The beautiful Priory and Church of Ewenny is the most complete and impressive Norman ecclesiastical building in Glamorgan and was immortalised by Turner. It is close to Bridgend and visitors should follow the A48 from Cardiff, for several miles past Cowbridge looking for a left-hand turn with a signpost to Ewenny.
