A series of 10-week long courses are being run by Anne and Geoff Haden of in conjunction with the poet and writer . The series will start with a course entitled Poetry - to begin at the beginning.

The Swansea-born Hadens bought the historic house and have restored it to its condition in 1914, the year in which the Thomas family originally bought their home.

Peter Thabit Jones commented: "Many people want to write and don't know where to start, so the aim of the course is to explore some aspects of writing and poetry and to help participants develop their own style.
