The Gaiety Theatre

With a packed calendar of exhibitions, festivals and shows the Isle of Man is a great place to visit if you are looking for year-round entertainment.

Each year the Isle of Man plays host to a number of festivals that celebrate everything from Manx culture and heritage to music, food and drink and local theatre.

Held every autumn, the Isle of Man Food and Drink Festival offers visitors the chance to sample the very best of local produce and experience live cookery demonstrations from visiting celebrity chefs.

If you’re looking for a cultural experience, the Isle of Man’s annual Literature Festival celebrates literary talent and brings together readers, best-selling authors and renowned poets from around the British Isles. Or why not try the popular Film Festival in September, a chance to see exclusive screenings and discussions with industry experts and celebrity guests.

If you’re visiting in the spring, the Beer & Cider Festival is a great opportunity to sample real ale from around the world with over 150 featured beers and ciders.

Or enjoy a summer’s day out with a difference and visit one of the Isle of Man’s prestigious agricultural shows. With lots of local produce and displays of vintage tractors, farming machinery and classic cars, you will be sure to discover a fantastic day out for the whole family to enjoy.

Don’t forget to make time to visit some of the Isle of Man’s art galleries during your visit. The Sayle Gallery in Douglas is a great spot to discover the work of local artists or try the Erin Arts Centre in Port Erin for musical recitals and local play festivals.

You’ll also be able to catch a performance from local and visiting musicians at the Peel Centenary Centre or make time to visit the prestigious Gaiety Theatre in Douglas to watch a play, musical or concert.
