Bangor's events centre on Pontio, the university's arts and innovation centre, which programmes cinema, theatre, live music and comedy through the year and is the main venue in the city. Bangor University brings a steady calendar of public lectures, student productions and seasonal concerts, and the city's choral tradition means male voice choir and cerdd dant performances are a regular fixture. Storiel, the local museum and gallery, runs exhibitions and heritage events. Bangor sits at the edge of Eryri and the Menai Strait, so outdoor events, walking festivals and coastal activities are within easy reach. Welsh is widely spoken here and a high proportion of events are run in Cymraeg or bilingually, which the language filter below reflects.
