Cooish Manx language festival next month

Thu, 05 Oct 2023

The Cooish Manx language festival will be taking place next month from November 1-5 and is suitable for everyone from absolute beginners to confident Manx speakers.

This year’s festival features 21 events across the island, from a family-friendly bingo night, through to cocktail making in Manx.

The event will host a multitude of workshops, from Manx Christmas song workshops led by Ruth Keggin Gell (Culture Vannin), through to art and craft workshops featuring the use of Manx Gaelic words, hosted by Eve Adams at Art Squared.

Alongside social events, there are lots of opportunities for learning, and those interested in the academic background of Manx can also enjoy a lecture in English about Manx, and an open-panel discussion exploring the future of Manx research.
