Erin Arts Centre

Port Erin, Isle of Man

Founded in 1971 and the only organisation of its kind on the Isle of Man, The Erin Arts Centre is an important venue for music and theatre. Located in Port Erin on the site of a former Methodist Chapel, the centre is staffed almost entirely by volunteers dedicated to the promotion of the arts and has become a prestigious venue for international artists of the highest calibre.

The Isle of Man Bank Auditorium has fine acoustic properties making it a suitable facility for instrumental recitals to small orchestral ensembles, choral concerts and opera music from recitals to choral concerts. More recently films have been shown in the Auditorium after a digital projector and screen were installed. The Erin Arts Centre also has its own dedicated gallery space - the Sir James Mellon Gallery, which opened in 1994. The gallery is very versatile and perfect for exhibitions due to its excellent combination of natural and artificial light as well as corporate presentations and lectures.
