Conister Bank has been confirmed as the Headline Sponsor of the 2026 Royal Manx Agricultural Show, extending a partnership that began in 2017.
The bank will once again bring its popular Purple Pavilion to Knockaloe Farm, Patrick, when the Show returns on August 7 and 8.
The space has become a familiar hub for meeting customers, chatting with visitors and joining in the weekend’s family‑focused activities.
Long Standing Commitment
Conister said its renewed sponsorship reflects its long-standing commitment to Manx agriculture, rural communities and the island’s heritage.
The 2026 event follows a milestone year for the bank, which celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2025.
Managing Director Douglas Grant said the Show remains one of the island’s most important community gatherings.
“Anyone who’s been to the Royal Show knows what it means to the Isle of Man. Being back in 2026 is about building on our support for the community and the people behind the event,” he said.
Royal Manx Agricultural Society Show Secretary Carol Kennaugh welcomed the continued backing.
“Conister Bank’s support really helps us deliver the Show at the level people expect. We’re delighted they’re returning as Headline Sponsor for 2026.”
The Royal Manx Agricultural Show is one of the island’s biggest annual events, showcasing local food, farming, enterprise and rural traditions.
Further details on the 2026 programme will be released in the coming months at royalmanx.com..
