THE Premier League football trophy will be on show at this weekend's Manx Telecom Bay Festival in Noble's Park.

The trophy, which was won by Chelsea FC this year, will be on the first floor of the two-storey inflatable 188CUBE between 1 and 5pm on Saturday.

Festival-goers will be able to have their picture taken with the trophy in exchange for a small donation to The Children’s Centre. 

On the same afternoon, festival organisers have announced a festival taster for young people with free admission before 2.30pm for up to two under 14s accompanied by an adult ticket-holder.

And it will be a chance to see Diversity perform one of their routines.

The festival runs from Friday night to Sunday night and some of the artists will be arriving early to do some sight-seeing.

The Coronas, who will be performing on Saturday, said: "The line up for the festival in the Isle of Man looks great, we are really really looking forward to it. It’s going to be a great weekend. We saw the tent and some pictures online, it looks like it’s really going to be a great weekend!"

Kim Wilde, who will be singing on Sundayn night as part of ths 80s event, said: "I’ve got to know most of the artists who are going to be performing.  It’s going to be a great day!"

Lemar, who will be appearing on Friday night on the bill with The Saturdays and JLS, added: "I can’t wait to get in front of the people, hopefully the weather will be great and the people come out to party, and we can bring it!"

He also remarked on his fondness of performing with JLS: "They are really cool guys, they supported me on my last tour last year.  It will be cool to catch up with them and The Saturdays on June 18."
