New and non-Welsh language speaker support

Interested in our community cast but not confident with your Welsh?

We've teamed up with Menter Iaith Bangor to provide support sessions for new and non-welsh speakers during the rehearsal period.

Frân Wen receives core funding from Arts Council of Wales to support its programme.

Olion, which is a 15 month programme of activities is also supported by Cyngor Gwynedd. The project has received £252,911 from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
