About the event

Enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this iconic church and its surrounding birdlife. Join us for a warm welcome drink and a short, guided breathing meditation, then into the churchyard to hear the birds waken in real time. With Manx Wildlife Trust on hand to discuss the various bird calls and answer any questions, you can get a real understanding of local birdlife.
