Alice Hughes | Narberth Museum

November 7, 2026 1:00 pm

Chapter One, Narberth Museum, Church Street, Narberth, SA67 7AG

Imposing castles, spectacular mountains, sweeping beaches and a vibrant culture make Wales a magnet for day-trippers, holiday makers and locals looking for an adventure. But how do you discover its joys without a car? In his event, Alice Hughes will share stories about her journeys around Wales on public transport and on foot. At times funny, at times frustrating, Alice will read from her book Every Other Hour, answer audience questions and sign copies. Tickets are £5 and include coffee, cake and 10% off Alice’s book. Find out more on the museum’s website.
