The Snow Queen’s Magnificent Christmas Message

Thanks to the incredible support from the Arts Council of Wales, we hosted a spectacular evening last night with Circo Rum Ba Ba’s ‘The Snow Queen’s Magnificent Christmas Message’ at Bargoed Community Centre. And wow, what a night it was!

What is Noson Allan? Noson Allan is all about bringing our community together for unique, joyful events that spread laughter, creativity, and connection. It’s a celebration of art, culture, and togetherness – and last night was no exception!

Circo Rum Ba Ba delivered an unforgettable performance with their dazzling cast. With 69 attendees and 7 amazing volunteers, the show was a massive hit! The cast interacted with the audience, sparking laughter, smiles, and festive cheer throughout the hall.

A huge shoutout to:

Amy and Cheryl, who served up delicious hot chocolate and snacks to keep everyone warm and cosy.
Kyle Richards, who spent the entire day at the venue, setting up props and ensuring everything ran smoothly – and even entertained us during the show!
Local care home staff, who went above and beyond to transport clients safely on a cold, dark evening. Your care and dedication are truly appreciated.
The children who took part and added extra magic to the evening!

Thank you to everyone who made the night special. The laughter, smiles, and festive spirit filled the air – and we couldn’t have done it without all of you. Let’s hope we can do it all again next year!

Merry Christmas from Caerphilly People First and The Parent Network!
