Blues Festival Package
We are very please to be able to offer the special Blues
Festival package in conjunction with
Event Services Limited for 2010. This will include 2 nights bed & breakfast, travel and weekend festival
ticket and full details will be posted soon here at the
Event Services Limited Website.
Ferries
The cheapest way to get here is probably by Ferry from Heysham, Liverpool, Dublin Belfast or Troon in Scotland.
To check ferries and book online (and save a bit too) visit SteamPacket.com
Flights
Flights are available from City of London Airport, Gatwick, Manchester, Liverpool, Blackpool as well as other airports. If you book in advance tickets are definitely cheaper as usual but probably the best price, if you are travelling from the South anyway, is from Luton airport - again, booked in advance.

Accommodation
Accommodation on the Island is reasonably plentiful and, on the whole, not too expensive - but shop around.
visit Isle of Man Accommodation to search the
accommodation available on the island, there is 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.
