A welcoming space for young adults
Want to meet new people? Want to build confidence? Want to try something creative?
The Wellbeing Studio offers a welcoming space for young adults aged 18–30 to take part in creative sessions with performers, artists, writers, and musicians. These sessions can help with anxiety, low confidence, difficulty socialising, and loneliness.
The informal sessions are free and take place at Nyth, Garth Road, Bangor.
They are drop-in sessions lasting two hours, and you’re welcome to attend one, two, or all of them.
All sessions will be facilitated by professional artists, including Casi Wyn, Mirain Fflur, Robin Edwards, Mari Gwent, and Elgan Rhys (more details about the artists below).
