Dastardly discoveries - a weird history of Llandovery

@ Dr Nicolas Grimoire

Llandovery's Peculiar Past

Nicolas Grimoire is a Carmarthen-based magician who specialises in combining story-telling with mind-reading and similar illusions.

As well as Creepy Carmarthen - the Spooky Town Tour, which has been running regular walking tours of the town through the summer, he takes his own-man show Strange Tales from the Darker Side around the UK. This autumn he can be seen at Welsh venues including Newton House in Llandeilo, The Judge's Lodging at Presteigne, Shire Hall in Monmouth and at Caldicott Castle. Over Halloween he will be running scary tours of Picton Castle and Castell Coch.

Take a tour around Llandovery's Peculiar Past in the company of magician and "horrible historian" Dr Nicolas Grimoire. Once described as "Nest of Devils and a Den of Thieves" the town has tales to tell of Roman invaders, a Butler who went bonkers and murdered his master, a terrifying coach crash and the horrific execution of a Welsh hero. With ghastly ghosts, daring drovers and much more beside, Dastardly Discoveries - a weird history of Llandovery departs twice daily at TIMES TBC
