A Christian festival is to take place in the north of the island on September 17.

Spring Harvest Local will be held at the Mountain View Innovation Centre, just outside Ramsey, and is backed by churches throughout the island.

It will be hosted by Lisa Holmes, from the Spring Harvest planning group, and she will introduce international musician and worship-leader Lou Fellingham and author and speaker Gavin Calver.

Doors open at 7pm, but Babbage’s venue at Mountain View will be open from 5,30pm, providing food and refreshments.

Tickets are available online at www.springharvest.org/local
