Go Wild Festival: An unforgettable family adventure this June!

Go Wild Festival, a brand new all-day festival for children aged 0-11 and their families, is coming on Sunday 22nd June at Milntown Estate in Ramsey. Families are invited to explore, create, and discover as they step into a world of wildlife where imagination blooms and nature inspires.

Go Wild Festival has been developed by Manx Wildlife Trust in collaboration with Hello Little People, marking Manx Wildlife Trust's first-ever Arts festival to support wildlife conservation. The project is made possible by the Isle of Man Arts Council's Extraordinary Event Fund, and kindly supported by Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, Domestic Event Fund and Hansard.

The festival aims to celebrate creativity in the wild while educating and inspiring children about wildlife in the Isle of Man. What makes this event truly special is its comprehensive approach to engaging families with nature through the arts, with activities for all ages ranging from captivating children's shows full of sound, music, and colour to creative workshops and live music performances. The full programme will be announced in the coming weeks.

We’re thrilled to launch the Go Wild Festival, an amazing opportunity for young people to connect with nature while having fun. This event is all about sparking a lasting love for wildlife, and by collaborating with Hello Little People and Milntown Estate, we’ve crafted a festival that encourages families in the Isle of Man to immerse themselves in the wonders of our natural world.
