HAPPY CAMPING

At Mannifest we want to create a real sense of community – and what better way to do that than to spend three days camping with all your friends and family. Not only will this give a family vibe to the festival but it is also better for the environment! So come on Friday, park in the free car park at Glen Lough and set up camp in the Mannifest campsite and spend the whole weekend with us.

KIDS AREA

Arts and craft

Susan Quilliam and her angelic team will be creating a warm, friendly and most importantly fun! Fun! Fun! Arts and crafts area. Kids will be free to stick, paint, make and create all day long. The festival site will then be decorated with the children’s wondrous pieces of art.

Circus

The Play People’s Circus Space will be at Mannifest for the whole weekend. They will be showing off their spectacular circus skills and teaching workshops in mind-boggling things such as juggling, hula hooping, Diablo, poi, tightrope-walking and plate spinning. Make sure you get a chance to go on the fabulously, magical Rinky Dink Rainbow bike and don’t miss The PlayPeople’s awesome daytime and fire shows!

HEALING

Mannifest will have a serene healing area where festival-goers will be able to sample the delights of treatments such as massage, reiki, reflexology, tarot readings and more.

Shaman Tony Samara will be giving satsang in the healing area. He will explain in a direct and simple way that everyone can understand, how each individual can practically integrate greater acceptance, peace and joy into their daily lives.

POLICY/ Ethos

Mannifest aims to be a creative, environmentally aware, ethical and family-friendly festival.  At this year’s event we have endeavoured to include something for everyone on the island – from a fantastic medley of music, loads of kids activities, circus performance, poetry, talks, healing  and good food.

Mannifest is now in its second year. It started small and has now grown bigger. With your support we want to make Mannifest an integral part of Isle of Man culture, providing an annual platform for local artists, musicians and performers – A festival where we gather to dance, sing, play, learn and connect.

So bring your best stomping shoes and a smile.
