MNH COMMUNITY EVENTS
//ISLAND-WIDE// Community events across Manx National Heritage sites in June and July including The Grove Museum, Ramsey, Laxey Wheel, Castletown, Peel Castle and Cregneash.
SUPERGRASS
//VILLA MARINA, DOUGLAS// Back in 1995 you’d have got some decent odds on the chances of three naked men in a bath turning out to be one of the few British bands to escape the 20th Century with their dignity intact.

MICROGAMING PLAY IT FORWARD JUNIOR TRIATHLON 2021
//NSC, DOUGLAS// A rescheduled date for this junior event with the pool, perimeter cycle track and running track at one location making it an ideal location and great for youngsters to get involved in a traffic free environment, and experience what it is to be a triathlete. www.facebook.com/ManxTriClub
With hindsight it would have been worth a flutter. Gaz Goombes, Mick Quinn and Danny Goffey, along with long-term collaborator Rob Coombes who officially joined the line-up in 2002, went on to score an unbroken run of five Top 10 albums (six, if you include a greatest hits), among them three platinum sellers generating millions of worldwide sales spawning ten Top 20 singles. And now’s your chance to see Supergrass on your home soil. Tickets: www.villagaiety.com, the Welcome Centre and the Villa Gaiety Box Office T: 01624 600555

BOUNDARIES
//HOUSE OF MANANNAN, PEEL// This exhibition presents a new opportunity for members of the Creative Network to display their work and represent the Isle of Man. Through this exhibition, the Creative Network hope to make ‘Boundaries’ a regular feature, aiming to showcase strong, curated bodies of work which could perhaps tour off Island in the future – taking Manx art to a broader audience and raising the profile of the Manx art world.
