Manx Radio is to be the media partner for three of Douglas Borough Council’s major community events in 2016: Noble’s Park Fun Day on Saturday August 6, the fireworks display on Saturday November 5 and the Christmas lights switching-on ceremony on Thursday November 24.

Regeneration and Community Committee Chairman Councillor John Skinner said: ‘The high level of expertise, professionalism and exposure Manx Radio provides complement the hard work put in by so many Council officers and staff when organising these large-scale events, so we are pleased to have Manx Radio’s support once again and to welcome them as our media partner in 2016.’

Manx Radio’s business director John Marsom said: ‘As the nation’s station we’re delighted to have been appointed the Council’s media partner for what are three truly crowd-pleasing events. It’s a pleasure to be working once again with an organisation which shares our enthusiasm for and commitment to delivering memorable community occasions that provide great entertainment for all the family.’
