QuoteA new £2.3m youth arts centre has been opened in Jersey by the Princess Royal.
The St James Centre was built in a converted church in St Helier and will include a performance space, studios, rehearsal rooms and a radio station.
The youth inquiry service will be in the former rectory next door and the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme will be based in a former primary school behind the church.
Youth officer Mark Capern said it was the culmination of five years' work.
He said: "From the scaffold-covered building three years ago, we've produced a phenomenal facility for both young people and the wider arts community in a reinvented, unique heritage site."
While in the island Princess Anne also visited the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, where she unveiled a plaque marking the 90th anniversary of the birth of its founder Gerald Durrell.
