Y Festri

Y Festri’s charitable mission is to promote and develop community arts initiatives and projects.

Y Festri’ charitable mission is to promote and develop community arts initiatives and projects by providing a dedicated creative centre for performing, visual and digital arts, for the communities of Llanberis and the wider area in a resourced and managed community hall. Amcan elusennol Y Festri yw i hybu a datblygu mentrau a phrosiectau celfyddydol mewn ganolfan gymunedol, sydd gyda adnoddau a ch

aiff eu rheoli. Byddwn yn gwneud hyn drwy ddarparu ganolfan creadigol benodiedig ar gyfer perfformio a chelfyddydau gweledol a digidol i gymunedau Llanberis a’r ardal ehangach. Y Festri is the reinvigorated drama charity ‘Cwmni Drama Llanberis’. In its new guise the charity, now Y Festri, is an exciting new project, which has been borne out of a number of highly successful community arts projects in Llanberis. Y Festri aims to promote and develop community arts initiatives to those who live and work in Llanberis and Gwynedd. Y Festri promotes artistic inclusion to all, with activities through the medium of Welsh and English and a bilingual literature policy. Y Festri aims to respect the natural environment in which we are based and seeks to minimize our environmental impact wherever possible. Y Festri yw'r elusen ddrama sy’n ailfywiogi 'Cwmni Drama Llanberis'. Ar ei newydd wedd mae’r elusen, a elwir nawr yn Y Festri, yn brosiect newydd cyffrous, sydd wedi datblygu allan o nifer o brosiectau celfyddydol cymunedol llwyddiannus iawn yn Llanberis. Anelir Y Festri i hyrwyddo a datblygu mentrau celfyddydol cymunedol i'r rhai sy'n byw ac yn gweithio yn Llanberis, ac i Wynedd. Mae elusen yn hyrwyddo cynhwysiad artistig i bawb, gyda gweithgareddau yn cael eu darparu drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg a'r Saesneg a pholisi llenyddiaeth dwyieithog. Anelir Y Festri hefyd i barchu'r amgylchedd naturiol yr ydym wedi eu lleoli ynddi, ac cheisio lleihau ein heffaith amgylcheddol ble bynnag y bo modd. Y Festri is in the process of renovating the old charities ‘Theatr Fach’, a former church vestry in the heart of Llanberis. Having once been a popular local theatre in this community, the building has fallen into disuse and disrepair. Y Festri will renovate this building, recreating a space for performance, rehearsal and the arts. This space will be used by Y Festri to facilitate our own projects, as well as being available for local groups. Mae 'Y Festri' yn y broses o adnewyddu festri’r eglwys yng nghanol Llanberis a elwir gynt gan yr elusen flaenorol yn ‘Theatr Fach’. Mi roedd unwaith yn theatr leol boblogaidd ond mae bellach wedi dadfeilio. Bydd Y Festri yn adewyddu’r adeilad, ac ail greu y gofod ar gyfer perfformio, ymarferion a’r celfyddydau. Bydd hefyd yn cael ei ddefnyddio i hyrwyddo prosiectau penodol sydd gan Y Festri yn o gystal á bod ar gael i grwpiau lleol. Y Festri is a registered charity, run and managed by a voluntary committee and a board of trustees. Membership of Y Festri is open to all and we welcome anyone who shares our interests to become a member. Mae Y Festri yn elusen gofrestredig, sy’n cael ei redeg a’u reoli gan bwyllgor a bwrdd o wirfoddolwyr lleol ymrwymedig. Mae Y Festri yn agored i bawb, a chroesawn unrhywun sydd â dyheadau cyson inni i fod yn aelod.

Ydych chi wedi gweld ein blwch ffôn?! 👀Yr haf hwn, cynhaliodd CircoArts sesiynau rhad ac am ddim i blant, gyda chyllid gan Teulu Gwynedd . Cysylltodd Robbie Blackhall-Miles Robbie Blackhall-Miles â ni i weld a fyddai’r plant yn gallu creu rhywbeth hardd o’r sbwriel a gasglwyd oddi ar yr Wyddfa gan y BMC Cymru Area a TRASH FREE TRAILS. Arweiniwyd y prosiect celf gan ein tiwtoriaid gwych, mzima ac Ethan Darren Kith, ynghyd â Sophie Keep, sydd ar fin dechrau astudio celf. Ymwelodd Robbie â Y Festri a dangos ffilm i’r plant am y broses o gasglu’r sbwriel. Yna, creasant rywbeth gwirioneddol anhygoel... a’n gobaith yw y bydd hyn yn codi ymwybyddiaeth ac yn annog pobl i garu ein pentref, yn ogystal â charu a pharchu’r Wyddfa 💚 Dyma hanfod ein cenhadaeth... hyrwyddo celf a chydweithio cymunedol. Mae’n wych bod Becca Brown wedi cefnogi’r prosiect; a phan ddaeth hi i weld yr arddangosfa, ymddangosodd y dyn sydd y tu ôl i’r cyfan hefyd... Tom Carrick o’r BMC! Gwnaeth yr hyn y mae’n ei wneud orau

Have you seen our phone box?! 👀This summer CircoArts ran free sessions for children funded by Teulu Gwynedd PLAYWORKS PROJECT. We were approached by Robbie Blackhall-Miles to see if the children could make something beautiful out of the 1000s of pieces of rubbish collected off Yr Wyddfa by the BMC and TRASH FREE TRAILS. The art project was lead by our wonderful tutors Mzima and Ethan, and soon to be art student Sophie Keep. Robbie visited Y Festri and showed the children a film about how the rubbish was collected. Then they made something really amazing… and we hope that will create awareness and encourage people to love our village and love and respect Yr Wyddfa 💚
This is what we feel our mission is about… to instigate art and community collaboration. It’s great that Becca Brown Plaid Cymru has supported the project as she has real concerns for our local environment, and when she came to see the display, the man behind it all… Tom Carrick from the BMC turned up too! He did what he does best.
