The story

Half Moon End of Summer Party in Onchan

A two-night, over-18s camping music festival held each September at Manx Fun Farm in Onchan, created as a smaller companion event by the organiser of the Island's main Full Moon Festival rather than a rebranding of it, with its own line-up, venue and fancy-dress theme.

Manx Fun Farm on Whitebridge Road in Onchan hosts a two-night, over-18s camping festival each September called the Half Moon End of Summer Party, run by the same organiser behind the Island's main Full Moon Festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Unlike the family-friendly, single-day format typical of most Manx outdoor events, this festival is over-18s only, runs across two nights with on-site camping, and uses two separate music areas, a semi-permanent tent and an outdoor stretch tent, to run parallel programmes through the day and into the night

02

The mystery stays covered

Each edition has also carried its own fancy-dress theme, announced by the organiser ahead of the weekend, which gives every year's party a distinct identity separate from the main June festival's branding
