It's been confirmed this year's Maughold Parish Day will be going ahead.

Following the lifting of social distancing restrictions last month, Garff Commissioners have announced the occasion will be held on Saturday, July 25.

The day will start with the crowing of the parish queen at 2pm with activities during the rest of the day including fancy dress and the sports events on the parish field.

Tea and refreshments will then be served from 5pm, before a barbecue and the legendary 'Maughold Head Race' from 7pm.
