SUMMARY:Art History Talk - The Birth of Impressionism and the Art of Modern Life
DESCRIPTION:What did it mean to paint modern life in 19th century Paris? \nIn the wake of political upheaval and radical urban transformation\, a group of young artists began to turn away from history painting and idealised myth. Instead\, they looked at the world around them—capturing fleeting moments in cafés\, on the streets\, at the theatre and in the countryside. \nBaron Haussmann’s dramatic redesign of Paris created sweeping boulevards\, public parks and new vantage points—spaces that became central to the Impressionist gaze. \nInspired by Charles Baudelaire’s call for a painter of modern life\, artists such as Claude Monet\, Edgar Degas and Gustave Caillebotte set out to reflect the pace\, spectacle and anonymity of the modern city. \nThis talk explores the birth of Impressionism and its focus on modern life. \nWhy was this work so controversial? And what exactly made it so modern?\n \nFollowing the talk\, please stay for tea and cake\, served in the Pavilion’s beautiful Gallery.

SUMMARY:Low Pay? Don't Pay!
DESCRIPTION:The Paget Rooms\, Penarth\, CF64 3EG\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 18th March 2026 – Saturday 21st March 2026\n\nLow Pay? Don’t Pay! is a whirlwind comedy from Italian Nobel Prize-winner Dario Fo that promises plenty of laughter with a cheeky dose of politics.\n\n\n\nIt all kicks off when a group of fed-up women stage a supermarket revolt\, refusing to pay sky-high prices and marching out with armfuls of “free” groceries. From there\, the chaos only grows as they try to keep their secret stash hidden from their husbands – and the law!\n\nPacked with slapstick mishaps\, quick-fire gags\, and larger than life characters\, this is a joyful farce that keeps the laughs coming whilst also shining a light on the struggles of ordinary families.\n\n\n\nHilarious\, sharp\, and full of heart\, Low Pay? Don’t Pay! is a reminder that sometimes the best way to face life’s unfairness is together — and with a good laugh.

SUMMARY:Lea Ypi: Indignity (GRIFFIN BOOKS AFTER HOURS)
DESCRIPTION:Join Lea Ypi – political theorist\, memoirist and one of Europe’s most compelling contemporary thinkers – as she discusses her powerful new book\, Indignity. \nA sweeping story that spans the twilight of the Ottoman Empire to the rise of communism in the Balkans\, Indignity has been longlisted for the 2026 Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction and named a Book of the Year by the Financial Times\, Sunday Times\, Prospect\, TLS\, Washington Post and NPR. An imaginative and searching exploration of historical injustice\, dignity and truth\, it is a family story at heart: when Ypi discovers a photograph of her grandmother\, Leman\, honeymooning in the Alps in 1941\, despite being told that all records of her early life were destroyed\, she begins a quest that unsettles everything she thought she knew.\n\nIndignity:\nWho was the real Leman Ypi? What compelled her to leave one world behind and marry into another at a time of war\, political upheaval and ideological extremity? And what does it mean to judge the choices of those who lived through such eras?\n\nMoving between archive and imagination\, court records and secret police files\, memory and speculation\, Indignity reconstructs a vanished world while asking urgent questions about truth\, survival and moral responsibility. By turns intimate and sweeping\, it examines how private lives are shaped and sometimes distorted by the forces of history. \nLea Ypi is the Ralph Miliband Professor of Politics and Philosophy at the LSE and a Fellow of the British Academy. Born in Albania\, she studied in Rome and Oxford\, and is the recipient of numerous awards for her scholarship. Her previous book\, Free\, won the Slightly Foxed Best First Biography Prize and the RSL Ondaatje Prize\, and was shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize\, the Costa Biography Award and the Gordon Burn Prize. \nThis event is part of our new Griffin Books After Hours series of talks\, interviews and discussions\, which will take place in our newly expanded shop. \n***\nFriday 13 March | 7.30 pm\nGriffin Books\, 9A Windsor Road\, Penarth\, CF64 1JB*\nTickets: £26.00 including a SIGNED hardback copy of Indignity (RRP £22.00)** / £8.00 Event Only*** / £5.00 Student Ticket / £5.00 Inclusive Ticket \n*IMPORTANT: Please be aware that the toilet at Griffin Books can only be accessed via three steps and so is not accessible for wheelchair users or people with mobility issues.

SUMMARY:Peter Finch: The Literary Business (GRIFFIN BOOKS AFTER HOURS)
DESCRIPTION:Step behind the scenes of Wales’s literary world with one of its most iconic figures. Peter Finch – poet\, writer\, performer\, and literary entrepreneur – will be talking to fellow author John Osmond about his new book\, The Literary Business. \nWhether you are a writer seeking guidance\, a literature enthusiast hungry for insider stories\, or simply someone who loves a brilliant literary raconteur\, an evening with Peter Finch promises to entertain\, enlighten\, and inspire. \nFor over fifty years\, Finch has shaped and chronicled the literary life of Cardiff and beyond. From pioneering the UK’s small press revolution in the 60s and 70s with Second Aeon\, to championing performance poetry in Wales during the 1980s\, to running Cardiff’s Oriel Bookshop\, and later leading Literature Wales\, Finch has been at the forefront of literary innovation. He has edited periodicals\, organised events\, worked as a literary agent and publisher\, and published acclaimed books on Cardiff\, the Valleys\, and the roots of rock music. \nIn his new book\, The Literary Business\, Finch draws on his unparalleled experience to offer a no-holds-barred personal history of the literary world. This book is for writers\, academics\, critics\, and anyone fascinated by the cut and thrust of publishing and poetry. From navigating the “Poetry Wars” of the 70s to understanding the challenges of supporting writers and writing today\, Finch delivers insights\, anecdotes\, and reflections with his trademark verve and iconoclasm. \nFew others in Wales know the business and how we got here like Finch does. And few others will have been capable of reporting back in such an entertaining fashion. Peter will be talking about the book\, answering questions\, offering advice and performing a poem or two. An evening not to be missed. \nPeter Finch is first and foremost a poet. His Collected Poems\, published in two 500-page volumes in 2022\, showcase decades of experimentation\, discovery\, and performance. Critics have hailed him as “probably the greatest living performer in poetry that we’ve got” (Chris McCabe\, National Poetry Librarian\, Southbank) and “one of the most influential literary figures in Wales of the last sixty years” (Gary Raymond). \nThis event is part of our new Griffin Books After Hours series of talks\, interviews and discussions\, which will take place in our newly expanded shop. \n***\nThursday 5 March | 7.30 pm\nGriffin Books\, 9A Windsor Road\, Penarth\, CF64 1JB*\nTickets: £25.00 including a SIGNED hardback copy of The Literary Business (RRP £20.00)* / £8.00 Event Only** / £5.00 Student Ticket / £5.00 Inclusive Ticket \n*IMPORTANT: Please be aware that the toilet at Griffin Books can only be accessed via three steps and so is not accessible for wheelchair users or people with mobility issues.

SUMMARY:National Theatre Live: The Audience
DESCRIPTION:The Audience by Peter Morgan\ndirected by Stephen Daldry \nReturning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade\, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the  Olivier and Tony Award® -winning hit production\, directed by Stephen Daldry. \nFor 60 years\, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron\, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences\, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch. \nPeter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play that was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.

SUMMARY:Brigid Lowe: The Bloody Branch (GRIFFIN BOOKS AFTER HOURS)
DESCRIPTION:Immerse yourself in a richly imagined world of myth\, magic\, and feminist storytelling with author Brigid Lowe\, as she discusses her new book The Bloody Branch\, a dark\, eco-gothic retelling of the Fourth Branch of the Mabinogion. \nThe Bloody Branch reimagines the stories of Blodeuwedd\, Arianrhod\, and Goewin through a fierce feminist and ecological lens\, bringing Wales’s national myths to life in a narrative charged with magic\, danger\, and ancient power. \nAs darkness spreads across the kingdom under the cruel ambition of the magician Gwydion\, three women must unite and unleash their most uncanny strengths to defend the land that binds them. Vital\, visceral and richly atmospheric\, Lowe’s novel is a story of desire\, revenge\, nature and female resilience\, casting an ancient light on themes that feel urgent and resonant today.\n\nBrigid Lowe grew up in a remote Welsh-speaking community on Ynys Môn with her Irish immigrant parents and younger sister. She now lives with her children in Yr Hen Ogledd — The Old North — once part of a shared Cumbric nation with Wales. She studied literature at Bangor\, completed her doctorate at Oxford\, and later taught at Sheffield and Cambridge Universities\, publishing widely on the art of fiction. Brigid descends from travellers\, circus performers\, mill workers and gallowglass warriors. She photographs flowers\, forages\, climbs pinnacles\, and swims in ice-cold waters\, caves and bottomless pools — a life steeped in the landscape that informs her fiction. \nThis event is part of our new Griffin Books After Hours series of talks\, interviews and discussions\, which will take place in our newly expanded shop. \n***\nWednesday 11 February  | 7.30 pm\nGriffin Books\, 9A Windsor Road\, Penarth\, CF64 1JB*\nTickets: £20.00 including a SIGNED hardback copy of The Bloody Branch (RRP £16.99)** / £8.00 Event Only*** / £5.00 Student Ticket / £5.00 Inclusive Ticket \n*IMPORTANT: Please be aware that the toilet at Griffin Books can only be accessed via three steps and so is not accessible for wheelchair users or people with mobility issues.

SUMMARY:Val McDermid: Silent Bones
DESCRIPTION:One of the UK’s most accomplished and respected novelists\, number one bestseller Val McDermid is coming to Penarth for a special evening to celebrate the release of her new Karen Pirie thriller\, Silent Bones. With more than 19 million books sold worldwide and translations in over 40 languages\, Val’s gripping and intelligent crime fiction has earned her a devoted global readership. \nSILENT BONES:\nWhen torrential rain causes a landslide on a motorway in Scotland\, it reveals a crime scene: someone hid a body in the tarmac eleven years before. Journalist Sam Nimmo had been the prime suspect in the murder of his fiancée when he disappeared\, and now DCI Karen Pirie and her Historic Cases Unit must find out who buried him\, and why. Meanwhile\, in Edinburgh\, new evidence reopens a closed case\, and the accidental death of a hotel manager starts to look like murder. \nBut what did Tom Jamieson’s book club have to do with his demise – and what will they do to keep their secrets? Karen and her team begin to untangle a web of lies\, one which connects their murder cases with Scotland’s rich and powerful. They will be tested to their limits – and possibly beyond… \nVal McDermid has written five series of crime novels including eight featuring cold case detective Karen Pirie\, with Karen now starring in a major ITV series\, and eleven books with clinical psychologist Dr Tony Hill and DCI Carol Jordan which were adapted for television as Wire in the Blood\, starring Robson Green and Hermione Norris. Val has also published several award-winning standalone novels\, books of non-fiction\, short story collections and a children’s picture book\, My Granny is a Pirate. Her new Karen Pirie novel\, Silent Bones\, publishes in October 2025. \nVal has won multiple international awards\, including the CWA Gold Dagger\, the LA Times Book of the Year Award and the Grand Prix des Romans D’Aventure. She is a Fellow of both the Royal Society of Literature and the Royal Society of Edinburgh and has been a judge for the Women’s Prize for Fiction and the Man Booker Prize\, as well as chairing the Wellcome Book Prize in 2017. She is the recipient of seven honorary doctorates\, is an Honorary Fellow of St Hilda’s College\, Oxford and a Professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Val is also lead singer of the Fun Lovin’ Crime Writers\, a rock band who have performed at Glastonbury.  She lives in Edinburgh and the East Neuk of Fife. \n***\n5th February 2026 | 7.30 pm\nThe Paget Rooms\, Penarth \nTickets: £28.00 includes a SIGNED hardback copy of Silent Bones (RRP: £22.00)* / £12.00 Event Only** / £5.00 Student Ticket / £5.00 Inclusive Ticket \n*Any book not collected at the event will be held at Griffin Books for three months after the date of the event.\n** There are a limited number of Event Only tickets available.
