Oie Voaldyn Fire Festival
John Shakespeare founder of Oie Voaldyn said: “Our festival is all about exploring and promoting the ancient culture and folklore traditions of the Island and bringing them to life in fire and song in public spaces.
“To have a sponsor who not only is from the West but also mirrors our own ethos is very fortuitous.
“Securing funding at this early stage allows us to plan well ahead and make the 2025 festival better than ever. So put 4th May 2025 in your diaries now and watch out for more news.
“On behalf of everyone at Isle of Man Fire & Folklore Festivals, the dedicated team of actors, fire spinners and drummers, we warmly welcome Element Isle to the Oie Voaldyn family”.
The first “Oie Voaldyn Manx May Fire Festival” was held in 2018 and over the following years the festival has grown to welcome over 6,000 people into Peel over the weekend of the festival.
The aim is to ensure the festival becomes a fixed event in the Isle of Man calendar providing a core event for the people of the Isle of Man but also providing an exciting Isle of Man cultural event to be marketed to an international audience.
