The Manx Festival Chorus may get some free seats though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the weather and what’s on elsewhere on the island and any other invitations that come in for the day I have a mental image of Dave’s house, the mantelpiece festooned with old-fashioned card invitations, all for events taking place on Tynwald Day… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re allocated in pairs and completely free but never seen many takers over the years. The Tynwald garden party is different and everyone likes those , afternoon tea, band playing, beautiful gardens etc although no alcohol!

I'm on the PSPA board and was offered a couple of tickets last year. I declined. Not really my thing, pomp and ceremony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
