Andi Oliver brings her passion for parties and community to Merthyr Tydfil in the latest episode of her heartwarming series. In this instalment, she joins forces with former Mr Gay Wales, Paul Davies, who is organising the town’s first-ever Pride event.
With two significant challenges to overcome—food and transport—Andi rolls up her sleeves to create a feast that celebrates the local community and its unique heritage. She sources local produce and draws on traditional recipes to craft a menu that also reflects the spirit of Pride.
To ensure a joyful celebration, Andi hires a bus to bring as many locals as possible to the event, fostering inclusivity and unity. Along the way, she explores the historic bond between the miners and the gay and lesbian community in the 1980s.
As the big day approaches, the Welsh weather threatens to dampen spirits and potentially wash out the entire event. Will Andi be able to bring the joy and magic she’s promised, making Merthyr’s inaugural Pride a triumph despite the odds?
