Culture and Arts

Over the years, Day-Mer has built a reputation for providing a range of cultural activities and classes to the members of the community free of charge. Currently three folk dance groups, two drama groups, a music group and a number of youth workshops are ongoing in the centre with continued interest and a satisfactory level of participation. Again, almost all of this work is not funded and is run by the resources of the centre and the energy and dedication of volunteers.
