International Women’s Day
Barry Town Council celebrates International Women’s Day at Cemetery Approach Community Centre on Friday, March 6, from 10am to 1pm. All are welcome at this free coffee morning, which features guest speakers, live performances, and a chance to honour inspirational local women. The day ties in with the 2026 theme #GivetoGain, marking global achievements and encouraging community involvement. Come along, meet new people and be inspired, as “when we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance and empowerment.”
‘Thank Folk it’s Friday’
Folk fans are in for a treat at “Thank Folk it’s Friday” with Blanche Rowen and Mike Gulston at Coaltrains Coffee Shop and Gallery, Barry Train Station. Taking place on Friday, March 6 from 11am, expect ‘an eclectic musical feast’ blending English and Welsh folk, contemporary songs, and even French café waltzes, all in harmony. Previous reviews have said: “The combination of Blanche’s delicate yet assured vocal timbre with Mike’s tender, tremulous tenor makes for some distinctively attractive harmonies and their voices make for a powerful duetting force.” Entry is free, though donations support keeping the music alive.
