The Future Of Wales - Talk and Book Signing Event

Wednesday 10 July | 2pm

Tickets: £5

Rhys Thomas is a freelance journalist from Laugharne, Carmarthenshire. His 2024 book 'The Future of Wales' is a funny, punchy manifesto for a better Welsh experience in decades to come, told with insight and winning passion.

When you think about it, Wales is a nation of contradictions. It boasts incredible natural resources and crushing poverty; fierce patriotism and a stark north/south divide; an energy surplus, and some of the highest bills in the UK. It also has a famously rugby-mad culture – but its football teams light up international tournaments. So what’s going on?

In this affectionate investigation into his home country, via Welsh geography, food, culture and sport, Rhys aims for the heart of its contrasts. In doing so, he builds a mosaic-like image of Wales today – and how it might look in the future!
