Cuppa with a Coppa – 21 January 2026 at 3pm in the Hub
Forthcoming Hub Trip to
the Hay Book Festival in May 2026
Our trip to the Hay Festival will be on Saturday 30 May 2026. The early-bird programme is now available on the Hay Festival website and we encourage you to take a look as soon as possible. More events will be added over the coming months. As our coach driver can only be on duty for a limited time we may not be able to stay for every session.
The first sessions begin at 10.00 am and to attend those we would need to leave Wenvoe at 08.30 am. The last round of talks commence at 5.30 pm meaning a late return.
To help us plan the day, please let us know which talks or time slots you are interested in, even if it’s just a rough indication at this stage. Once we understand people’s preferences, we can design a realistic timetable that suits as many as possible. There is a list on the Library reception desk or you can email us on wenvoelibrary@outlook.com
Get On Board at the Hub
1:30 pm on Tuesday afternoons
Do you enjoy a bit of friendly competition, strategy, and plenty of laughs along the way
Rummikub – the numbers tile game that mixes luck, quick thinking and clever strategy
Scrabble – the timeless word game where a good vocabulary (and a touch of luck with the letters!) can make all the difference.
Whether you’re a seasoned player or a complete beginner, this is a chance to meet others, sharpen your skills, or simply enjoy some relaxed time together over a cuppa.
