Erin Arts Centre

overview

Community based, the Erin Arts Centre is the only organisation of its kind on the Isle of Man. The Centre serves an Island population of over 76,000 people and provides an essential and unique key to access to, and participation in, arts-based activities.

Since the Centre’s foundation in 1971, it has fulfilled a unique and important role as a venue for music and theatre. Under the guiding hand of founder and Director, John Bethell MBE, D Mus (Hon), the Centre has received international recognition as home to a number of prestigious events.

Staffed almost entirely by a dedicated team of voluntary helpers, the Erin Arts Centre has become a prestigious venue for international artists of the highest calibre. The fine acoustic of the Centre’s Isle of Man Bank Auditorium is suitable for nearly all forms of music.
