Where:- Peel Football Club

When:- Saturday 16th (1pm to midnight) and Sunday 17th (1pm to 7pm) July

Peelstock is now in its 6th year and only continues to become ever more popular. This year for the first time the festival will be held over 2 days. Organised by the Tommy Clucas Memorial Fund the festival as a whole is a way of raising funds in the name of Tom, one of the islands most popular sports stars who was tragically killed during racing in the Manx Grand Prix in 2004. It’s a great community event and very much family friendly.

Prices for Peel Stock 2011 are £8 and £4 for adults on the Saturday and Sunday respectively. Juniors (aged between 14 and 17) pay £5 on Saturday and £2 on the Sunday. Children are free if accompanied by an adult. Tickets are only available to buy on the gate.

Where:- Peel Castle

Starting at 16:30 in Peel Castle it is your chance to enjoy Easter with a difference as a number of churchgoers recreate the Easter story (complete with many animals) inside the walls of this great castle.

As everybody who has ever been to an event in Peel Castle knows these things tend to be hugely popular and create massive parking problems so the advice is to get there early and park responsibly. There will be limited admission.
