Move on over New York, judging by this week's arts fix, Guernsey's arts and culture offering is right up there with the city that never sleeps!
With screenings from The Royal Ballet, Open Mic Nights, an exhibition from local Legend Peter Le Vasseur, and a top Abba tribute band, there really is an artistic genre for everyone to enjoy this week!
Kickstart your Monday with music - who said that Mondays have to be boring? Join local musician and 'Nightmare' Nick Coleman for Monday’s weekly open mic at the De La Rue.
From Solo Performers to full band capability, this is the place to be, with original music encouraged. Open Mic takes place every Monday from 8PM until late - Why not make a night of it and arrive early for the De La Rue’s legendary pub grub ahead of the fun? You’ll be in the best company!
We LOVE a Royal Ballet screening at the Princess Royal Performing Arts Centre - and there’s one coming up on the 30 May that won’t disappoint!
Featuring the iconic songs of Sting and the electrifying choreography of Kate Prince, this is a screening you need to book your tickets for. Book here from only £18!
Message In A Bottle is a spectacular new dance-theatre show from five-time Olivier Award nominee, Kate Prince, inspired by and set to the iconic hits of 17-time Grammy Award-winning artist Sting, including Every Breath You Take, Roxanne, Walking On The Moon and more.

Iconic local artist Peter Le Vasseur is taking over “Art at the Park” with his new exhibition 'Window on the World' at the Art at the Park Gallery, Folk and Costume Museum, Saumarez Park.
