Story
Please help us to ensure the survival of this extraordinary festival in Peel on the Isle of Man. This FREE community event is unique, magical, powerful and immersive, all set against the stunning backdrop of Peel Castle and bay.
The festival aims to bring people together to celebrate the arrival of summer with music, ceremony, fire and unity.
If you are inspired to reignite the flames of our unique and special cultural heritage, please support us with a donation. Find out more about us on at www.oievoaldyn.com or https://www.facebook.com/oievoaldyn
In 2018 the Oie Voaldyn Manx May Fire Festival was born and we put on two fabulous annual events… then along came Covid. This forced the cancellation of the event in 2020 and 2021. We are back on track for 2022 and hope once more to put on one of the best events on the Island.
Take a look at our short film for a taster:

The huge popularity of this and our sister event Oie Houney Hop Tu Naa Fire Festival, has meant that we need to invest in better sound, light and stewarding to ensure our growing audience stay safe and enjoy all aspects of the evening performance.
Existing funding levels have remained static and this, along with increased costs in all areas has driven us to seek this extra financial support.
We are financially supported by Peel Town Commissioners, Culture Vannin and VisitIOM.
