Monday promises to be a great opener to this years Isle of Man Queenie Festival with a walk down memory lane. With Manx music and dancing, a quiz, food and refreshments, a heritage walk through Port St Mary with re-enactments, a photography display and a Manx language evening in the Albert pub; there is plenty going on in Port St Mary to keep you entertained.
And all this has been made possible with the help of our Monday night sponsor, EMCS.
The evening starts at 6pm at Mount Tabor Chapel, with your tour guide walking you through the changes Port St Mary and the fishing industry have faced over the years before returning you to Mount Tabor. A photography display will be opened on Monday night from 6pm showing ‘a day in the life of Port St Mary’ as captured by the Southern Photographic Club in 1979. Fisheries Minister, Phil Gawne, has also arranged Manx Music and Dance at Mount Tabor which is always great to get involved in.
Adrian Cain will be running a Manx Language evening in the Albert Pub which will be a sociable and fun event to round off Monday night’s entertainment.
