BIG WHEEL BLUES FESTIVAL
- ACOUSTIC STAGE -
SO, WHERE IS THE ACOUSTIC STAGE IN LAXEY VILLAGE?
- GENERAL INFO -
I have been asked to provide details of travel and accommodation to the Island.
I think, at this stage, the best that I can do is refer you to the Isle of Man Tourist Board on TEL:
01624 686801 and their web site at www.gov.im/tourism/
which is pretty comprehensive and covers just about every aspect of the Isle of Man -
and they'll send you a Tourist Guide Book for free too.
The following web sites should also be of interest to people coming to the Island for
the Fest. or at any other time:
www.iomtt.com/
www.mcb.net/iom/
www.isle-of-man.com/information/history.htm
Believe it or not the CIA Fact Book (yep the actual CIA) is also fascinating at
www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/im.html
- ACCOMMODATION INFO -
Accommodation on the Island is reasonably plentiful and, on the whole, not too
expensive - but shop around. Quite a few of the above web site links will give you
a lot of blurb about hotels, phone numbers, rates and so on. The quality varies enormously
and it it will pay you to make an effort to ring first or check the rooms before parting with
your cash.
- TRAVEL INFO -
The cheapest way to get to here is probably by Ferry from Heysham, Liverpool, Dublin or Belfast.
Flights are available from Heathrow and City of London Airport
which, if you book in advance, are cheaper but probably the best price is from Luton
airport - again, booked in advance.
Click Manx Airlines to check timetables, fares and to
book online.
To check ferries and book online (and save a bit too) click Isle of Man Steam Packet.
