MANN, ABANDONED Exhibition and book launch by Sayle Gallery artist-in-residence Hazel Walsh
Alongside the large selection of visually intriguing and evocative photographs, Hazel has created mixed media works using a variety of methods and materials including image transfer techniques. Viewers are also invited to share Hazel’s explorative experiences and enter into a derelict room within the gallery, equipped with only a head torch to illuminate the gloomy interior. Audiences will also be able to purchase a copy of the book ‘Mann, Abandoned’ which will be launched at the exhibition preview and showcases a selection of Hazel’s best photographs from the project. www.mannabandoned.co.uk www.saylegallery.com Admission: FREE 01624 674557 Opening times: 10am – 5pm Tue – Sat, 1.30 – 4.30pm Sundays, 1pm – 5pm Mondays

Manx Last Night at The Proms Saturday 3rd September Manx Last Night at The Proms Featuring Manx Youth Band & Manx Concert Brass with guest soloist Alan Wilcocks, performing many popular favourites, including Rule Britannia, Land of Hope & Glory and Jerusalem.

So why not see how the Manxies can belt a tune out, and have a good evening as part of the deal! 20:00/£12.50-£15.00 (concessions available)/Gaiety Theatre/T: 600555
