Dylan Thomas
Swansea
The 'Love the Words' exhibition tells the story of Dylan's life, work and legacy, from his birth on 27 October 1914 in Swansea to his death on 9 November 1953 in New York. The Dylan Thomas Centre also hosts a range of events throughout the year.
Our theme for our May half term activities is Dylan’s Travels
Fluellen Theatre Co.’s lively and entertaining performance-based guided tour of Dylan’s central Swansea starts from the Dylan Thomas Centre.
In honour of International Dylan Day, Sion Tomos Owen leads a fun and engaging workshop for our Young Writers Squad for 9-11 year olds.
Our family friendly Learning Space will be open for free themed self-led creative writing activities, puzzles, word searches and crafts all inspired Dylan’s adventures and travels.
Exhibitions, talks, readings, plays, children’s workshops, or guided tours; there’s plenty on offer at the Dylan Thomas Centre and other venues throughout Swansea.
For anyone who struggles to understand poetry, the Open Guide to Literature on Dylan Thomas by Walford Davies is a good place to start.
Did you know that before he died, Dylan Thomas met with the great Igor Stravinsky to discuss collaborating on a “musical theatrical work”?
Over the last few months we have extended our learning and outreach programme to reach Swansea’s community of asylum seekers and refugees.
