A gala event has been held to thank the sponsors of a new artwork.

The event took place at Fareham Live on September 25 and celebrates the artwork, 'A Wave of Thanks' - a sound wave design made up of coloured bars with each sponsor's name.

It will remain in the theatre's foyer for the life of the venue. The Mayor of Fareham, Councillor Pal Hayre, unveiled the piece.

Sponsors and their guests were treated to a gala dinner and a preview of the venue ahead of the first organised shows on September 28.

Executive member for leisure and community at Fareham Borough Council, Cllr Connie Hockley, said: "The A Wave of Thanks gala event was a fantastic evening to thank all of our founding sponsors of this magnificent venue.

"The artwork itself is really beautiful and the fact that it has been sponsored by individuals and businesses who are from, or are invested in Fareham, makes it truly special."
