Wish You Were Here On now until the end of August
The Stone Jetty Cafe
10 am - 4 pm, Tuesdays - Sundays
Our Post Card exhibition has now moved from More Music to the Stone Jetty. We're unable to show all the entries at the Stone Jetty, but have tried hard to include at least one from everyone who entered. Entrants ranged from high school students to professional artists - with plenty of variety in the media used. We asked 15 local people to select their favourites and these have been printed as post cards - these are now available from The Stone Jetty, Beach Bird, Bayside Emporium, White Elephant Gallery and also at Arteria in Lancaster
All entries are still availble to view on the MAC website. Images shown above: left by Ginny Koppenhol; right Johnny Bean.
An award winning play by Alison Armstrong, celebrating our theatrical heritage and the fabulous Morecambe Winter Gardens in particular. It is a lyrical homage to the theatre of bygone times. Complete with Soundscape and Imagescape the play presents an immersive experience of real and fictionalised events in the life of the theatre. It is a play of voices of characters who might have worked and performed there. A celebration of cleaners and usherettes, musical elephants, boxers and fortune tellers, trapeze artists and more.
