I picked up the leaflet for the Brecknock History Festival the other day, and there are a few things on locally that look interesting.
The Festival runs over September and October.
It's a special year for Brecon Cathedral, being the centenary of the creation of the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon, and thus also the centenary of Brecon Cathedral being a cathedral - previously it was the Priory Church. They've got Dr Rowan Williams to come and give a talk on Welsh Cathedrals: Past and Present on 14th September at 7pm, and on Saturday 16th September they're having a Medieval Festival, with food, events and re-enactments.
Meanwhile in Hay, the Hay History Group will be giving a tour of the historic pubs of Hay. The leaflet says entry £3, but doesn't mention the start point of the tour. Their website doesn't mention it either, but further information can be obtained from Alan.j.nicholls@btinternet.com
[edited to add: The tour starts from the Swan - thanks, Alan!]
On 1st October, there will be a pop-up museum at Hay Castle from 12 noon to 4pm.
