Wales is gripped by Banksy fever following the discovery of his artwork in Port Talbot.

Further details

The team are proud to protect and support Welsh culture. One of the biggest events for Wales this past year was the original Banksy appearing in Port Talbot. In an effort to capitalise on its success, Wow! Wales's corporate directors Wyn and Charlotte put a shout out on social media for the elusive artist to collaborate with them on a 'spontaneous' piece of art. Remarkably, they receive a response.

Gwilym is overjoyed to find out his walking tour has been featured in a top ten article in one of New York's top newspapers. To celebrate, he convinces I-Centre colleagues Amy and Mark to join him on his latest tour. Not all is as expected though when Gwilym leads them on the 'Trail of Tears'.

Wow! Wales aims to pair up with the Museum of West Wales to help promote their latest exhibition. Elaine visits the museum and meets up with the curator of the exhibition, Dr Phillip Hobbs. There are instant sparks between the two but things go awry when Elaine gets her hand stuck in an Egyptian Mummy.
