Castletown show to return after 2020 cancellation
The organiser of one of the biggest events of the year on the Island says the Manx public has been showing strong support for community events since the end of lockdown last year.
The Southern Agricultural Show had to cancel its 2020 event, but this year's edition will go ahead on 31 July and 1 August at Great Meadow in Castletown.
This year's edition will have a focus on Island-based entertainment and produce, with no UK judges coming over.
Secretary of the Southern District Agricultural Society Sarah Comish says it's been great to see the public getting behind local events:
