Coming up at St Marys

re-Breath Holy Island Arts Festival

The Re-Breathe Holy Island festival has three important strands, 'Creativity, Sustainability and Community'. Over the festival, we will be running various music events, including a live performance by the amazing 'Celtish' group; different arts workshops by various talented artists around the theme of re-using and recycling; dance workshops; story-telling sessions; poetry sessions; and talks on sustainability and the ecology of our beautiful island! We hope that there will be something for everyone over the course of the week. Please support us with whatever you can afford to make this a great Holy Island community event.
