No free roads-closed events outside Beer Tent this year
The head of Bushy’s brewery says he can’t understand the government’s decision not to provide any festival entertainment on Douglas Promenade this year.
Traditionally, stunt shows and other acts perform on closed roads outside the landmark beer tent in the Bottleneck Car Park – but this year there’ll be nothing there.
Martin Brunnschweiler says the last time the government made such an announcement was in 2009, and there was a huge backlash from festivalgoers.
He says he’s disappointed – but hopes it won’t affect his trade:
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel
Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
