Super Sniffers at Barry Island Community Centre:

The power of a dog's nose knows no bounds! Their sense of smell is so powerful, it would like us humans being able to see New York from Land's End! We use this powerful sense as a great mental workout teaching your dog to locate and indicate on a specific scent. This great dog sport is very beneficial for mental stimulation and wellbeing. It is also capable of boosting your dog's confidence and give them a positive outlook on life. This is a 6-week course taught by a qualified Scentwork UK and UK Sniffer Dog Instructor with over 4 years experience in the sport. 7 pm - 8 pm. Royal Naval Reserve Experience at HMS Cambria in Barry:

Want to keep fit, make new friends and gain new skills in your spare time? Get a taste of life as a Royal Navy Reservist at our free Royal Naval Reserve Experience on 29th January 2020. Spaces are limited, so make sure you register your interest in plenty of time.

TODAY'S SHOWINGS AT BARRY'S MEMO ARTS CENTRE:

Royal Opera: La Boheme: 7:45 pm.

Puccini's opera of young love in 19th-century Paris is packed with beautiful music, including lyrical arias, celebratory choruses for Act II's evocation of Christmas Eve in the Latin Quarter and a poignant final scene over which the composer himself wept. Richard Jones's character-led production perfectly captures La bohème's mixture of comedy, romance and tragedy, with striking designs by Stewart Laing. The cast features some of the greatest interpreters of Puccini's bohemian lovers performing today, as well as former members of The Royal Opera's Jette Parker Young Artists Programme. TICKETS: Full £15.00, Concession £12.50, U16s £10.00.
