A major year-long celebration of arts, crafts and other cultural facets of the Isle of Man has been launched at the Villa Marina.
Isle of Culture 2014 is set to be the Island’s largest ever cultural celebration, with events being held over the course of next year.
Organisers say they’re hoping as many people as possible will get involved – not only to show off their talents, but also to inspire others.
Michael Lees says the festival, launched this afternoon at the Broadway Cinema, will be all-inclusive:
