SA Festival | Isle of Unity 2025

Feel the rhythm of South Africa on Manx soil

Delicious flavours, joyful beats and the spirit of ubuntu are back on the Isle of Man for one unforgettable Saturday. Gather your family, friends, neighbours and colleagues and step into an all-day celebration where communities mingle, cultures connect and every smile speaks the same language of togetherness.

Who’s behind the fun?

Isle Settle teams up once again with the Isle of Man Chapter of the SA Chamber of Commerce UK to create a festival that welcomes everyone. 

What to expect

• Local is Lekker Market – 30+ South African & Manx makers selling crafts, jewellery and farm produce (#BuyLocal)
• Family Zone – giant inflatables, rounders, crazy golf and touch rugby to keep kids busy
• Games for Grown-Ups – football darts and the return of the Potjie Master Competition
• All-Day Soundtrack – playlists blending SA beats with global favourites
