People invited to pay the Island's rent in historic tradition

The Island's rent is almost due - and you're being invited to help hand it over to the landlord!

Maughold Parish Social Club will be paying Manannan his traditional due on South Barrule later this summer, and say all are welcome to come along.

The ancient custom saw bundles of rushes or meadow grasses offered on either Midsummer night or the day before Tynwald Day.

The club says they'll meet at the quarry side gate at 10.30am on Saturday, July 4, cut some reeds and walk to the top of South Barrule to leave them for Manannan.
