The grounds of Peel Cathedral were packed with people for the return of a one-day festival of music, song and dance from around the world.

The ’Our Island Our World’ festival took place on Saturday and featured many of the different communities that call the Isle of Man their home, as well as Manx artists and musicians.

The free family day saw hundreds of people try their hand at various arts and crafts, including henna tattooing, lantern making, Chinese calligraphy and paper art and weaving. All this took place in a mock Bedouin tent, created inside the Corrin Hall, while global and local music played inside Peel Cathedral. There was also Chinese dancing from Rita Zhu and Indian dancing from Gwenael LaSirene, along with music from the Fecktones, Loose Crew and the Manx Bulgarian project, which skilfully blends folk music from both countries. Lava finished off the festival with a set of Latin music at the Centenary Centre during the evening.
