Shetland Arts Development Agency manages Mareel, The Garrison Theatre & Bonhoga Gallery. We also develop and promote a year round programme of film, music, theatre, literature, visual arts & dance events.

We do this because we want to see Shetland celebrated as a place where inspiration & innovation are valued; where people want to live, work & study; and we want the full social & economic potential of the islands to be achieved.

Shetland Arts is supported by Creative Scotland and core funded by the Shetland Charitable Trust. Shetland Arts is a registered charity (SCO37082).

Inferno Dance Group presents

North Ness Boys present

INFERNO’S HIP HOPITY XMAS SHOW

CHRISTMAS WITH THE NORTH NESS BOYS

Inferno dance group is made up of nearly 80 members with ages ranging from 3 to 16. Trained by Jenny Teale, they cover a variety of dance genres including acrogymnastics. They have been training for the last few months to put together a hip hopity extravaganza for the Shetland community. A fun-filled evening awaits you, with everything from romantic duets, dancing fairies, and light shows... plus plenty of smiling faces! You won’t want to miss a chance to see the young talent our Isles have to offer.

Carols, bluegrass, country and gospel.

Enjoy Christmas songs, North Ness Boys style! The week before Christmas Aubrey, Clive, Trevor and friends invite you to come with them for a night of song. Drawn from a repertoire performed at church services, carol concerts, Christmas meals and parties and sung around peats fires at the North Ness over many years, the programme will include several of the greatly loved carols as well as those slightly less known but equally inspiring Christmas hymns and songs.

Sandy Nelson is an actor, writer and comedian from Glasgow. He put together the annual Stand Up Helly Aa with Shetland Arts five years ago and has compered all but one of them.

Since winning the inaugural Scottish Comedian of the Year Award in 2006, Mark Nelson’s mix of dark humour, cutting observations and superb oneliners have seen him firmly established as one of the UK’s most sought after comedians.

Stuart Mitchell was a finalist in the New Act Of The Year competition in 2012 and was mostly recently a Best Support Act nominee in the inaugural Scottish Comedy Awards. He is quickly proving to be one of the most exciting new stand-up comedians performing across the UK.
