Fears over access following the collapse of the ancient stone bridge in Laxey before Christmas have prompted the move to the island’s west coast.

Organised by the Moddy Dhoo Motorcycle Club, the show, which has previously taken place on Laxey seafront, has grown in popularity.

The club’s Andy Scullard, who is also one of the show’s arganisers said they were not confident the bridge would be reinstated by TT so a decision had to be made.

The new venue is the Marine Parade in Peel.

Mr Scullard said: 

‘The final decision was made last week so we are really grateful for all the support from the commissioners and others to help us change the venue so quickly.’

No decision on where next year’s show will be held has been made as yet.

As well as live music there will be the bike show which people can enter with their bikes on the day. 

Stands will include owners’ clubs, auto-jumble, charities, motorsport medical services, the road safety team and others.
