Glamorgan Cricket is pleased to announce that Walkers & Talkers will be heading to Sophia Gardens. 

Former Gloucestershire player Andy Brassington created Walkers & Talkers (which is now a charity) in order to rebuild the community and connection that had been missing from many people\u2019s lives over the pandemic.

He didn\u2019t know it then, but Walkers & Talkers has evolved into one of the biggest weekly social inclusion initiatives in the UK.

It started off in Brassington’s local county Gloucestershire with the aim of ‘helping people connect’ , and soon spread to Somerset and Worcestershire.

Fans in Bristol, Taunton and Worcester now meet up every week to talk cricket, and more. We are delighted that Walkers & Talkers is now coming to Glamorgan, where fans can unite at the stunning Sophia Gardens to build a community and connection with like-minded people. 

The first one in Wales will be at the stadium on Feb 13th starring Matt Maynard as guest speaker.<\/strong> Each session involves a gentle ramble (optional), a cuppa and an interesting visiting speaker all free of charge. The event starts at 10am and runs until midday, with coffee available from 9.30am.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to seeing you at the Home of Welsh Cricket to welcome Matt Maynard for the first session of this amazing initiative, which will help you feel connected to our wonderful community.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
