DESCRIPTION:Chasing The Sun: an inspiring film and expert panel revealing the bike’s role in adventure\, community\, and climate solutions.\n\n\nA big-hearted community film night celebrating the power of bikes\, people\, and positive change — right here in Llangollen. \nDrosi Bikes is bringing Chasing The Sun to Llangollen Town Hall for one special evening — and we’re throwing the doors wide open to our local community\, our North Wales neighbours\, and friends over the border who fancy an inspiring night out with purpose. After a successful tour across England\, this is the first screening of the highly rated film\, in North Wales. \nThis uplifting documentary from 2× BAFTA-winning director Michael B.

It’s full of heart\, hope\, and stories that stick with you long after the credits roll. \nAfter the film\, we’ll gather for a friendly\, honest panel chat with riders\, makers\, adventurers\, and the director himself — exploring how cycling can bring people together\, spark small but mighty change\, and help us all live a little lighter on the planet. \nThis isn’t just a film night.It’s a chance for our community to connect\, be inspired\, meet brilliant local organisations\, and imagine what’s possible — one pedal stroke at a time. \nWhether you ride daily\, dust your bike off once a decade\, or just love a good story…you’re welcome. Come be part of something special. \n \nWhat to Expect \n\nFull film screening of Chasing The Sun\nPanel discussion with a world-class athlete\, filmmaker\, cycling advocates\, writers and gear experts\nLocal repair stands & sustainable gear displays/sales\nA friendly community evening celebrating cycling\, adventure\, and planet-positive action\nWe’ll also have a fully stocked bar offering soft drinks\, alcoholic options\, and snacks — perfect for a relaxed midweek evening and a bit of pre-film or mid-panel nibbling.\n\n \nAbout Your Hosts: Drosi Bikes \nDrosi Bikes is a community-driven CIC based in Llangollen\, North Wales. We transform discarded bikes and parts into affordable\, reliable rides — reducing waste and keeping good bikes out of landfill. \nBut we’re more than a workshop.
