A family Affair

A whole day of events for the whole family!

Gŵyl Goncrit returns for a day of events in Pontio, Bangor – joined by Yws Gwynedd, Qwerin, Comedy Writers Group and more on Saturday 10th September, 2022.

In August 2021, Gŵyl Goncrit brought live music and events to Pontio’s Loading Bay for a whole month of events, to welcome live events back to our spaces! We’re glad to announce that Gŵyl Goncrit is back this September for a day full of events. Take part in a circus workshop, enjoy live music, some brand new comedy and more… With free events, and all ticketed events costing £10 or less, come over and enjoy a feast of arts.

Opening the day is a circus workshop by Circo Pyro in our Studio Theatre. A fun, interactive workshop where children and young people can learn circus skills. Qwerin, will bring our Amphitheatre to life with a show full of joy, inspired by the weaving, flowing patterns of traditional Welsh folk dancing, combined with the pulsating energy of Queer nightlife. A contemporary dance performance celebration cutlutre, identity and community with an original soundtrack and costumes that give a new edge to the Welsh traditional dress, Qwerin truly is a feast for all the senses.

The day will continue with a free performance of Dwndwr y Dŵr, commissioned by Articulture and the Wales Outdoor Arts Consortium. Butetown’s iconic carnival comes to life, drawing on magical motifs and folk memories from Wales and around the world to bring you a story about desires, choices and consequences. With Carnival costume, music and dance, Butetown’s Arts & Culture Association explores themes around migration and displacement, those left at home and those in limbo. Come and join the fun in our Public Spaces!

Encore, a community choir from Bangor, established during the pandemic and has raised money for local causes, will bring a repertoire of music to our stage in Bar Ffynnon. To follow, Comedy Writers’ Group will perform, a new group of comedians who meet to develop new work at Pontio every month. Join Bella Humphries, Katie Gill-Williams, Manon Ceridwen James, Jonnathan Ervine and Fflur Pierce in Bar Ffynnon, all for free!

To close Gŵyl Goncrit, we welcome Yws Gwynedd and band to Theatr Bryn Terfel, for a special gig – open to all ages. Come and enjoy one of the best bands in the Welsh language music scene. More artists to be announced to the line up soon.
