Guild targets 'big return' for 2021

Competitive festival to be held at Villa Marina

Organisers of the Guild say it's set for 'a big return' in 2021.

The Manx Competitive Music, Speech and Dance Festival was held 'virtually' for the first time in its history this year, after the festival in its traditional form was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Next year's instalment is scheduled to take place from 24 April to 1 May at the Villa Marina, with free copies of what's in store available across the Island.

They outline both new and returning classes, plus the requirements for those who wish to enter.

The new categories introduced for 2020 - including group mime, group ballet, and a specially-themed 'anything goes' competition - are all included again for next year.
