As Easter approaches, a podcast episode full of hope, spirituality and hospitality.

Island Stories meets Father Xavier Perrin, the Abbot of Quarr Abbey - a place of worship for Roman Catholics and a popular place to visit for Islanders and tourists alike.

Father Xavier tells us about his Island life, a typical day-in-his-life as a monk, his work caring for the buildings and fabric of the abbey and his plans for the future.

Our final guest of 2023 is Leighton Atchison-Warne, founder of beauty and lifestyle brand Natures Journey, based in Ryde.

Leighton tells us his Island Story - a native from birth, he now lives in Sandown with his partner and worked at Liz Earle for many years before branching out on his own project. He talks about his pioneering use of CBD oil in beauty products and - of course - his love for the Island.
