Last week, Howard Caine and a merry band of local performers joined forces to stage the acclaimed film director Mike Leigh’s 1970s cult classic ‘Abigail’s Party’ in aid of the Roy Castles Lung Cancer Charity – he spoke to news editor Lisa Harding for this evening's show.

Out at the Hodgson-Loom Gallery at Laxey Woollen Mills, Julia Ashby Smyth is in the middle of hanging work for her joint exhibition with Neil Milsom who we know for his sculpture, but he’s been adding something completely new into the mix - paintings! The show launches on Friday with an open preview starting at 6pm.

At Studio 42 in Port St Mary, there's just over a week left to see this year's Jeremy Paul exhibition - the gallery is open Wednesday to Saturday but closes the door on this show on October 30 - don't miss it!
