Organisers call day on Festival of Jurby

Thu, 19 Sep 2019

The annual Festival of Jurby won't take place next year.

The Department for Enterprise has said it's 'disappointed' that the Festival of Jurby organisers have cancelled the annual event.

The Vintage Motorcycle Club festival committee says they were forced to stop after ten years due to heavy regulation, such as facing additional uncertainties with insurance for any non-Manx riders given changes to EU Medical Cards.

In a statement the Department for Enterprise said they remain grateful to the club, especially those individuals who have worked so hard to create such a popular event and will continue to work with the Club and other private organisations and individuals to deliver a strong visitor experience during the Festival of Motorcycling.
