The restored Peel Sailors’ Shelter has been a success for the community after hosting a variety of different events this year.
The shelter, on the corner of Peel promenade and harbour, has been used for a whole host of events, from art exhibitions to dance classes and film shows, and was the base for the Traditional Boat Weekend, which took place in July and August.
At the annual general meeting for the Sailors’ Shelter committee, chairman Davy Faulkner said he was ‘delighted’ to see various groups use the space for their events.
Committee member Bill Quin said organisations such as Peel Heritage Trust and Peel Commissioners hadhelped provide materials to revamp the building. ‘We’ve had lots of help and it really has been a community project,’ he said.
Children will be able to bring their letters to Santa as he will be visiting the shelter this Sunday (December 13) from 2pm to 4pm. A family Christmas carol service will also take place on Sunday, December 20, from 2.30pm.
