A celebration of Manx National Week will take place across the Island from 30^th June until 7^th July 2024 with a variety of events and activities.

The Hon Laurence Skelly, President of Tynwald said;

“I feel it is important to commemorate our origins, remember what makes us a unique nation and ultimately promote pride in our island. With this in mind, we wanted to re-ignite Manx National Week and encourage the wider community to celebrate everything that is Manx and special to our Island and our local areas.”

Annual events like the Cronk-y-Voddy Sports Day and the traditional Tynwald Day Ceremony on Friday 5^th July will be highlights of Manx National week alongside events across the Island including Manx National Heritage’s Martin Parr photography exhibition, an archive exhibition at The Leece Museum and Manx National Week displays across selected primary schools, including Laxey, Dhoon and Willaston.

There will be something for every member of the family to enjoy and take part in with easy access to see what is happening each day on the events page on www.visitisleofman.com

Events will also be shared across social media platforms so please contact the Office of the Clerk of Tynwald if you are running an event during Manx National Week and would like this to be listed across our digital channels, on enquiries@tynwald.org.im
