As you may be aware, despite the UK relaxing their rules, the Isle of Man remains in lockdown under the guidance of the Isle of Man Government. Although locals are safe to travel around the Island, anyone from the UK mainland is still restricted to all but essential travel.

Following lengthy discussions with government representatives and the organising committee, due to the success they have seen with their own COVID-19 lockdown, the decision has been made extend the lockdown to at least the end of September 2020. As a result this year’s Festival of Motoring will be postponed until 2021 (Sept 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th)

You may have already received a text message from Steam Packet confirming cancellation of ferry crossings.

Please note no action is needed from yourself or other participants, our team will be automatically migrating all bookings to 2021. Please note existing bookings and prices will be honoured for 2021.
