Sea, Stories and Stewardship: Town Dialogue

REGISTER NOW.

Come and join us for a friendly evening of stories, conversation, and new ideas about the sea that is such an important part of life in Aberystwyth.

• 9 July 2026
• 6-8:15 pm
• Joseph Parry Hall, Laura Place

Whether you love swimming, fishing, surfing, walking along the beach, watching the waves, or simply enjoying the sea views, we would love to hear your thoughts.

Together, we will explore an important question:

How can we make the most of the sea that shapes our town?

The evening will include short and interesting stories from people who know our sea in different ways. You will hear from local residents, people who care for our coastline, and researchers who study the sea and coastal environment.

Throughout the night, we will invite you to chat in different small groups, share thoughts, ask questions, and exchange ideas in a relaxed and welcoming setting. We will also help Town Council prepare for its public meeting with Dŵr Cymru and kick off a month of sea celebrations and activities around Aberystwyth. 

This is a chance to:

• Hear fascinating stories about the sea
• Share your own experiences and memories
• Learn something new from Aberystwyth University researchers
• Meet people from the local community
• Help shape ideas for the future of Aberystwyth

Everyone is welcome.

REGISTER: An eventbrite will be posted soon
