The funding will help bring vibrant community fire festivals to life each year, reimagining historic celebrations through music, dancing, a torchlit procession, Viking battle and fire show, and more!

This grant will go specifically towards reusable fire equipment for local performance group Skimmee Aile, helping to ensure safety while delivering a spectacular show.

Sarah Kelly, Chairman of Manx Lottery Trust, said: “We’re delighted to support the Isle of Man Fire and Folk Festivals. These exciting events celebrate Manx culture in a unique way and this funding will help enhance the experience for everyone involved.”
