Events for the Community
Frozen Light Theatre – The Bar at the Edge of Time
Thursday 17 & Friday 18 October
The glasses are polished, the lights are down low, and time will be hopping.
The Bar at the Edge of Time waits only for you, so what are you waiting for?
Leave the hours, minutes, and seconds behind, step across the threshold and meet the bar’s maestro mixologists, crooners, and hosts. But a mystery lies at the heart of this place, a mystery hidden even from them. One that can only be solved when we spend our time together.
A multi-sensory spectacular for audiences with profound and multiple learning disabilities.
If you have any questions about the content of the show, or would like to receive a visual story by post, please contact Emma from Frozen Light Theatre on emma@frozenlighttheatre.com

National Dance Company Wales – Dance For Parkinson’s
Tuesdays, 1.30pm – 3pm
NDCWales is excited to launch new Dance for Parkinson’s classes in Bangor!
Dance for Parkinson’s classes are fun and informal.
Dance has been proven to develop confidence and strength, whilst temporarily relieving some participants of symptoms in everyday life. Classes are creative and promote feelings of freedom from the physical and social constraints of having Parkinson’s.
We are an Affiliated hub of English National Ballet’s Dance for Parkinson’s programme.
Classes are 90 minutes long, and all you’ll need is a chair.
English National Ballet’s Dance for Parkinson’s programme has been running since 2008. We are proud to be part of the Dance for PD membership, to support Dance for Parkinson’s Partnership and People Dancing and to have an affiliation with Parkinson’s UK.
