Old and new celebrated on National Day

Full day of Tynwald Day events

Manx heritage and living culture will be celebrated in a series of events and activities during the's Island's National Day tomorrow (5 July).

While the open-air sitting of Tynwald forms the focal point of the day, there'll be music, dance, song and family activities to complement the formal proceedings.

As well as the usual stalls and displays, in a relatively new addition to the day, local bands will be entertaining audiences in the TynwaldFest tent, where there will also be a selection of local food and drink producers.

Tynwald Day Enhancements Coordinator, Grainne Joughin, says the celebrations will continue from early to late.
