'Paint your own Dolphin' workshops are taking place over the next few months with The Big Splash 2022.

Isle of Man Arts Council and Hospice Isle of Man are holding three sessions, where you can meet the artists who have painted the large dolphin sculptures that will be part of the trail this summer.

You can also purchase your own dolphin for £10, which goes towards Hospice, and design and paint them with help from the artists.

Places are free, with sessions taking place on May 14 and 21, and June 25 - you can book your place on the VillaGaiety website.
