What’s on at Tynwald 2013 Take Part in Art! This year, make sure that you Take Part in Art and put your creative stamp on Tynwald Day 2013 by heading over to the Bunscoill (oppo- site the front green). Help to create a Viking longboat or the Celtic god of the sea, Manannan, in our mosaic workshop run by Elaine Edge. Gavin Carter is back to give children another opportunity to try their hand at woodcarving and help to make a wooden throne fit for Manannan himself! Or maybe you would like to have your face painted with the three legs of Mann? Jo Callister will be on hand to help you look the part on Tynwald Day. These activities are all free of charge, so please take part and help us to celebrate and commemorate our national day. Visiting musicians Excitingly, there is an international element to the entertainment this year. The visiting Llanrwst Welsh male voice choir has kindly joined the programme in the Royal Chapel. We also are delighted to be welcoming ‘And Sometimes Y, Manx, Morris and Sword’, a dance group from Western Massachusetts. They will be performing on the front green for us, so be sure to come along and give them a warm Manx welcome. Circus workshops Cooil y Ree is the location for circus skills workshops, run by The Play People. We are delighted to welcome them back to St John’s with performances and walkabouts to entertain young and old. Their evening fire show provides a spectacular and fitting end to the day’s celebrations. If you tire of tightrope walking and plate spinning whilst you’re down in Cooil y Ree, why not brush up on your Manx folklore with tales of magic and mischief in Sue Woolley’s storytelling tent. Evening Entertainment Kippercaillie will be taking the reins for the ceili this year. It really doesn’t matter if you have never taken part in a ceili before, come and join in the fun, no experience necessary! And if all that dancing makes you feel hungry, the Quines from Ballakilley will be showcasing local produce with a hog roast. The evening ends with an atmospheric performance on Tynwald Hill by Ellan Vannin Pipes and Drums, followed by the Play People’s pyrotechnic showcase of skill and daring! An Island wide bus service will ensure you get home after the festivities and there will once again be an additional late night bus service to the South, terminating in Port St Mary.
