Working with local groups and historical societies, and with the support from the Awen Heritage volunteers, Awen Cultural Trust will be collecting wartime memories across Bridgend County. There will be workshops led by a local artist in local libraries and venues across Bridgend County Borough, to create artworks reflecting these stories.

The community activities will lead to the main Remembrance event at Maesteg Town Hall. This event will be an immersive-style experience based around wartime stories and feelings of freedom. This accessible event will be a very special opportunity for the community to come together to mark this year’s Remembrance Day.
