A menopause specialist is set to stop in Wales as part of her debut theatre tour.

Dr Louise Newson, a leading menopause and hormones doctor, will visit Venue Cymru in Llandudno on October 2.

The show is part of her inaugural UK tour, Hormones & Menopause: The Great Debate, which aims to raise awareness about menopause, challenge misconceptions, and advocate for improved women's healthcare.

This comes after the only NHS menopause clinic in North Wales, based in Llandudno, was closed down.

Ms Newson, who is recognised as the doctor who kick-started the menopause revolution, has helped transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of women and their families through her work.

She identified the misdiagnosis and neglect many women with menopause symptoms face, which motivated her to become a menopause specialist.

Ms Newson said: "For too long people haven’t been able to access the right information or indeed the right treatment, which is barbaric.

"My mission is to ensure that all women, and men, have access to evidence-based information, so they can make their own choices about their treatment.

"This theatre tour will be a real privilege and gives me the platform to do so, as well as share my own experiences delivered in a way the audience can connect with, so they can feel empowered to improve their future health, their symptoms and most importantly open the conversation up across the different generations."

She will be joined on her tour by Dublin-based comedian Anne Gildea.

Known for her honest and informative comedy, Ms Gildea will bring a unique perspective and humour to the evening.

She stated that she is excited to be part of the project and can’t wait for it to get started.

Ms Gildea said: "What Louise has achieved, reaching so many with such skill, clarity and depth of knowledge around menopause is just phenomenal."

She further described it as "life-changing".

Tickets for the Llandudno show start at £30, with VIP tickets available for £55.
