Festival Favourite Returns: Full Moon Set for June 2026

Some good news to warm the soul ahead of Christmas: Full Moon Festival will be returning in 2026.

Founder Scotty Bradshaw took to Facebook this week after hinting earlier in the year that the popular event might not continue.

In a candid video, he explained that the 2025 festival took a real toll on his mental health, saying he wouldn’t run it again without more volunteers and extra staff.

But, after some reflection and plenty of community support, he’s confirmed the show will go on. Much to the relief of Manxies keen for a party.

Set for its fourth year, the three-day celebration of music, arts and wellness has become a staple of the Manx summer.

Hosted at its picturesque home on Rosehill Farm along Richmond Hill, the festival has grown from a small grassroots idea into one of the island’s most-loved events.

Scotty announced: ‘So, 26th, 27th and 28th of June 2026 at Rosehill Farm!’

There’ll be some changes next time around, including retiring the barn as a venue, spreading out the bars, improving accommodation options, and doubling down on the wellbeing side of the programme, which has proved hugely popular.

But overall? It’s shaping up to be bigger, better, and still very much Full Moon at heart.

Early bird tickets are due to drop in the coming days. For more information, visit Scotty Bradshaw’s Facebook or visit the festival website: thefullmoonfestival.co.uk.
