Cardiff Theatre Cafe
St Andrew’s Church in Cardiff had a reputation for being ‘the church on the corner that looked closed’, until a little miracle occurred in Roath with the introduction of Wyburn & Wayne who have worked alongside Reverend Des & the congregation and volunteers to create the iconic ‘Dragged to Church’ as well as St Andrew’s Coffee Court and Cardiff Theatre Cafe – this is their story of community, faith, allyship and ambition, narrated by local icon, Steve Spiers (The Tuckers, Hunky Dory).

Wales probably isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think of ballroom, but Into the Light, a new short film by Liana Stewart, shows that the country’s ballroom scene is alive and flourishing. Immersing us in the Welsh Ballroom Community – “a collective of queer individuals who call each other family” – Into the Light showcases its homegrown talent, which has only grown since it was founded in 2020.
