The stage is set for one of the biggest events of the Manx summer.

The Southern District Agricultural Show takes place at Great Meadow in Castletown today and tomorrow.

Today's highlight will be the grand parade, from about 3.15, followed by judging of the supreme champion.

Among those represented will be the Island’s only mushroom farm, which is based in Greeba.

Co-owner Kathy Kneale says it’s 'Grown with Care' motto doesn't just apply to the mushrooms (audio file attached):
