Courtesy of Simon Guerrier's blog is this link about the Dylan Thomas Festival in Swansea; they're going to have a special Doctor Who day Saturday 2 November (after all, he and RTD are the two most famous writers from the town). Tickets can be booked online (with a small booking fee) or by calling 01792 463980. Events are priced individually, but you can also have a day ticket for twenty-four pounds and fifteen for concessions (if you have a Swansea "Passport to Leisure" it's only eight pounds). It looks like it'll be well worth the money; the list of events is quite exciting.

7.30pm Doctor Who Celebration

The Festival itself runs from 27 October to 9 November and it's at the Dylan Thomas Centre in Swansea, so there'll be plenty of other events happening as well.
