Ballafesson Hall closure a 'shock' to volunteer group
Manx Newscast
Wednesday, 16 September 2026 - 6 minutes
The closure of the Ballafesson Hall has come as a 'shock' to the volunteer group which has been running the space as a community facility.
The Ballafesson Community Club had been told they’d have a year - from June - to make Ballafesson Hall viable otherwise it would be sold on the open market.
But they say the Methodist Church has changed the timeline and the facility will be closed and put up for sale on 30 September.
Mrs Harper says the club has been 'left in a limbo' following the announcement but has chosen not to 'run away' from the issue.
Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to Mrs Harper.
Arbory and Rushen Commissioners, Eddie Teare and the Methodist Organisation have been contacted for comment.
