The Manx Year goes live

The Manx Year goes live

Thu, 16 Mar 2017

There have been some exciting changes on the Culture Vannin website, including an additional new section of the website: The Manx Year.

Much of traditional Manx culture, and most of the traditional customs, are linked to the time of the year. Whether you are carving a turnip in October, making a wooden cross in April, or dancing in the streets in December, there is a lot of fun to be had across the Manx year. During the past six months, we have been looking into a few of these periods of the Manx year and we are now beginning to pull these together into a single central source of information. On the new Manx Year pages you might find videos, pictures, audio files, downloads and links to further information - everything you might want to live the year in a Manx fashion.

The first few parts of the Manx year are now online: The Manx Year.

As a happy effect of this new part of the website, the People & Places page has also undergone a redesign. We hope that you will visit it with fresh eyes and find your way to some of the Manx treasures that it holds.
