The Gaiety Theatre & Opera House, Harris Promenade, Douglas.

This splendid structure was built in 1899, and restored to the condition it was for it's original debut to celebrate it's centenary, and as an entertainment venue.

Today the Theatre is run as part of the Villa Marina Complex, and painted in the same deep cream colour.

Interesting design for this bench which seats four people. Surprisingly comfortable !

Possibly by the same designer as the picnic bench I saw earlier.
