A magnificent evening of Manx music, dance and food for all the family is being lined up at the Community Farm this Friday [September 27]. Organisers of the Harvest Moon Festival are promising some great entertainment with a good old-fashioned ceilidh featuring Manx artists, plus a mhelliah auction of local produce, and a hog roast which are all included in the ?20 ticket price. A range of local produce will also be on sale providing a feast of Manx flavours for visitors.
Compere for the night will be Dot Tilbury MBE and the festival will take place in a marquee at the Community Farm, which is on the Wallberry Farm on the Carnane Estate off the Old Castletown Road in Douglas. It runs from 7.30pm until late in the evening. No parking is available at the farm for the event, but transport will be provided from and to the Sea Terminal. No alcoholic drinks will be on sale on the evening, but visitors can bring their own favourite tipple with them.
All of the funds raised will go to towards projects run at the Community Farm, which is a charitable project of The Children’s Centre. Unique in the Isle of Man, the farm works with schools and groups across the Island providing a nurturing and educational environment, and helping people grow whilst reconnecting with the countryside.
