Mareel is Shetland's exciting new Cinema, Music and Education venue, due to open early in 2011. Mareel will have two cinema screens, a live performance auditorium, rehearsal rooms, a recording studio, education and training spaces, a digital media production room and a cafe bar. It will be situated in a prominent quayside area in Lerwick next to the new Shetland Museum and Archives. Mareel will provide a year round programme of films, live music and other performance events and a programme of formal and informal education, training and community learning activities designed to appeal to the whole community. It will be a hub and a focus for the creative community and a catalyst for the emerging creative industry sector in Shetland.
Information about how the Mirrie Dancers project will be involved in this development will be available as our project progresses.
