Mann Made Festival launches today (23 May)
The loss of the Food and Drink Festival has been the driver behind the creation of a new event for Manx producers this TT, according to the organisers.
The Mann Made Festival launches today (Friday 23 May) and will see more than 50 contributors offering food, drink and entertainment over the next two weeks.
Based in the Bottleneck Car Park in Douglas, it's hoped the event will show off the best of Manx to tourists and residents alike.
Andy Saunders is the main organiser:
The Food and Drink Festival, which was organised by government, was cancelled last year.
James Bennett, who owns and runs Meximann, helped come up with the idea for the festival:
