The Dragon Barmouth Ltd serves the small town of Barmouth and surrounding areas. We provide the arts, music, drama and education.
We continued to improve the Welsh cultural offer at the theatre. The return of a Welsh rock band and a project that bought local stories to the town Welsh Whisperers was begun.
In 2023/24 we continued to hold regular sessions for the over 50’s by providing events where free lunches, teas and films and a warm space were provided, these events were fully funded.
A wide variety of music was staged catering for all tastes, Jazz, Opera and popular music.
Our drama events have grown this year, with visiting production companies providing a variety of plays.
The school holidays saw children’s drama, arts, storytelling, crafts and a circus events.
The Dragon serves as the local council’s meeting place and a venue for computer and exercise classes. We also host a number of local groups such as the WI and a mother and baby group.
We continued to make improvements to the building. The once derelict kitchen has been refurbished and an illuminated LED sign has been installed out side keeping every one up to date on what is on at The Dragon. Progress has been made to install a new toilet for the disabled on the lower ground floor funded by The National Lottery.
