What's on in Cwmcelyn

Gwent, Wales

Book clubs, bingo, and the occasional village fête that's surprisingly well organised — Cwmcelyn punches well above its weight for local events, and Gwent's all the better for it. You'll find everything from craft workshops the kids won't stop asking about to open mic nights that are genuinely worth staying up past nine for. The big listings sites have never heard of half these venues, which is their loss and your gain. Parish council listings, community centre noticeboards, pub websites we've had to zoom in on to read properly — we've checked them all so you don't have to.

Signing with Jack Strange

Join us for a signing with Jack Strange at our shop in Abergavenny. Entry is free and there will be books available to buy. About the Boyfriend Academy Love is forbidden. Truth is dangerous. Survival is everything. ‘An absolute masterpiece’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ganymede’s is no ordinary boarding school. Behind its spiral towers and manicured lawns, boys are forged into the men society demands – strong, obedient, perfect. Graduate, and the world is yours: a home, a career, a wife. But fail… and you’re no longer useful to society. For Dylan Cecil it should be simple: keep his head down, survive graduation, and earn his place. But when his friend, Blake, disappears, Dylan can’t silence the questions gnawing at him, even as whispers of danger shadow the school’s gilded halls. As June’s trials close in – eight tests that will decide who is worthy of manhood – Dylan is haunted by Blake’s absence and drawn to Roman Edwards, a boy as magnetic as he is unknowable. In a world rebuilt on order and obedience, Dylan must decide: will he become the man the academy wants – or the man he really is? Praise for The Boyfriend Academy ‘A brilliant blend of dark academia, mystery, murder and forbidden love’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I adored this book so much.

An evening of Celtic Magic with Brigid Ehrmantraut

Join us for a captivating introduction to Celtic magic with a talk from Brigid Ehrmantraut. Her book Celtic Magic reveals it magic’s integration into daily life from antiquity to the Middle Ages, inviting readers to explore its mysteries through rituals and practical charms. Druids and divination, curses and charms: the Celtic world was filled with magic and intrigue, but how did people practise magic and what did they use it for? Brigid Ehrmantraut takes us on a journey through the Celtic-speaking world to explore the different ways people interacted with magic. Some sought aid through deities and dedications, while others wanted to punish their enemies with spells and curse tablets. By the start of the medieval period, we see magic collide with popular religion, saints overtake the old gods, and witches, shapeshifting and spirit battles make their way into medieval literature. Ehrmantraut introduces us to the gods and practices that shaped the lives of the Celtic people in antiquity. She brings to life forgotten gods like Cernunnos and Esus, immortalized on the Pillar of the Boatmen, and explores the sanctuary of Sequana, goddess of healing at the Seine’s source. But magic wasn’t always benevolent; curses (defixiones) like those etched on the Larzac tablet expose a darker side to magic practitioners. While Classical accounts of magic offer tantalizing glimpses into lurid rituals and wild druids, their accounts blurring fact and fiction.
