It is now less than three weeks to go until the island goes TT mad, which means the return of Bushy’s TT Village for its second year.

The Village is returning to the Villa Marina gardens and he company says that it remains dedicated to all things Manx.

Fronted as ever by its famous Bushy fox logo, the brewery said it wants to ’showcase island businesses, up-and-coming talent and artisan produce’ during the 2019 TT fortnight.

One of the key dates in the Bushy’s diary is its charity day, held on the first Sunday.

And Shelly Langan, the frontwoman of band Bombshell could not be more excited.

Shelly said: ’Bushy’s main stage is the big ticket item of the year for local bands, and to get a slot is golden.

’With the festival atmosphere and Bushy’s pulling in the crowds - it’s unlike any other experience in the band’s calendar.

’We kicked off our first gig last year at the Bushy’s Charity Day, and we’re absolutely delighted to be back again this year, but with a Mad Sunday slot too.’

And the local theme doesn’t end with the entertainment Bushy’s Village will see the return of local pop up vendors, burger stalls, Manx fish and pizza company Black Dog Oven, among others.

A spokesman said: ’Bushy’s TT Village has expanded its reach for 2019 with growing support from official sponsors and partners.

’These combine local businesses with well-known international brands such as Pepsi, further cementing the event’s standing on the TT map and providing local organisations with a high profile platform to promote services and brand.’

Bushy’s owner Martin Brunnschweiler added: ’Bushy’s is proud of its Island-wide legacy and forever grateful to our customers, performers and supporting local businesses.

’We wouldn’t be where we are without them.

;It’s exciting being able share a slice of this action increasingly with visiting TT fans year-on-year.’

Bushy’s has also confirmed it is in partnership this year with sponsorship consultancy firm Revel.
