MANX GRAND PRIX ENTERTAINMENT

When visiting the 2024 Manx Grand Prix you can enjoy a new-look entertainment zone, similar to that seen in years gone by, with the space between the grandstand and the paddock playing host to all the event’s entertainment.

Open from 9am daily from Sunday 18th August, the first day of qualifying for the event, you can expect a whole range of entertainment throughout.

A stage located behind the Grandstand will be host to a number of daily chat shows, including interviews with the winners fresh from the podium on race days. This year local man, and voice of Manx motorsport and road racing, Chris Kinley will be behind the mic for the entertainment.

Daily Chat shows with the MGP Riders

If you are once again looking forward to more evening entertainment, there will be acoustic acts performing each evening, with sets taking place just before evening qualifying and just after day time racing.

Enjoy acoustic music every evening

Spending a day at the races is easy, as there will be a number of food and drink vendors located between the grandstand and the paddock for you to refuel from. Whether visiting all day and wanting breakfast, lunch and dinner, or just popping in for a drink, there is something to satisfy all tastes and desires.

Something for everyone

When visiting over lunchtime, you can enjoy an outdoor cinema atmosphere, as there will be a motorbike or racing film showed each day that the entertainment space is open. You can look forward to Closer to the Edge, Tourist Trophy and other favourites.

There will also be the usual opportunities for you to get involved, and on all race days, there will be a Man of Steel competition to determine who is the strongest in the crowd, held in the evening.
