entertainment.
At the heart of “The Villa” is the spectacular Royal Hall - a
1,600 capacity arena, perfect for creating an intense live
concert atmosphere.

perform a special intimate concert, extend a UK/European

arenas, the Royal Hall is the perfect venue with a music loving
audience.
Whilst the Royal Hall is the perfect venue for major concerts,
the Promenade Suite offers a more personal club
atmosphere.

about the isle of man
You’ll find our beautiful Island situated between the coastlines
of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, in the middle of the
Irish Sea.
The Isle of Man has a rich culture, love of
sport and a passion for music and the
arts.
In recent years, local musical talents
such as Davy Knowles and Samantha
Barks have made themselves
household names alongside Manx
sporting heroes Mark Cavendish and
Peter Kennaugh. Whilst they are the
most recognisable names, the Island
has a thriving and diverse
performing arts scene.
Perhaps best known for the world
famous TT motorcyle racing, every
summer the Island welcomes
thousands of spectators from around the world for the
pinnacle of motorcycle road racing.
