Peelstock 2011

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.
