Hurdling with Emily Ash Powell presents: Hurdles for Dinner (Heritage Edition)

​According to the poet Brian Harris, to be Welsh is ‘not to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth, but with music in your blood and with poetry in your soul.’ But apparently, it’s also to be born with a lifetime of sheep jokes, abysmal accent impressions and Gavin & Stacey references ahead of you, too.

​Every Welsh person knows that there’s so much more to us beyond the lazy stereotypes. So what does it mean to be Welsh today? And what does it mean to be Welsh outside of Wales?

​Join us at Bara Café in Peckham for an evening of sharing our food, oversharing our feelings and working out how to get over the things that get in our way. We’ll be joined by Phie Mackenzie and Dagmar Bennet from Clwb Creative Cymru and Ryan March of Alternative Wales for a panel diving into all things modern Welsh heritage – and all the hurdles that come with it.

​Then, we’ll be wined and dined with divine welsh food from Cissy Dalliday & Zoe Heimann the incredible founders of Bara Café too.

​So bring your handbags and your gladrags and snap up your ticket now.

​Welwn ni chi yno!
