Gaiety project adorns walls with venue's history

Walls outside the Villa Gaiety have been adorned with a new project to celebrate the venue's history.

The areas under the Colonnade have been turned into a timeline of the complex's journey over the years.

The artwork, put together by Adam Berry, details some of the major moments for the venue since The Marina opened its doors in 1893 right up to this year.

The Villa Gaiety celebrates its 120th anniversary this year - the theatre was completed in 1899 and first opened to the public on July 16, 1900.

To recognise the landmark occasion, earlier this year the team there invited residents to share their favourite memories and memorabilia of the times they've spent there which were then displayed in an online gallery on the theatre's website.
