Thriller in the Villa is a fun event for the Island’s community, providing a platform for local fundraising. The annual event, sees local volunteers embrace the challenge of stepping into the Boxing Ring raising funds for their chosen charity in the Villa Marina's Royal Hall, Douglas, Isle of Man.

"I am doing Thriller because I have always been interested in boxing so this has gotten my foot in the door and given me something to work towards and focus on."

"I nominated the Lullaby Trust as when I lost my 6 month old little boy at the age of 16 that was the charity we raised money for as it is for sudden cot death syndrome which was the cause of his passing."
