One of the more unusual events held in the Island last year was the Isle of WOMAN festival.
Doubts that it would catch-on proved unfounded - it was a huge success - and preparations are now underway for a second festival this October.
It's in support of the Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity. A wide range of events is on offer - with the aim of getting women to have fun and try something new - while raising money for a good cause.
Festival organiser Carole Male outlines some of the attractions at the festival to be held over the weekend the 27th to 29th of October.
