Celebrating Community at the Royal Manx Agricultural Show 2025

The Royal Manx Agricultural Show is one of the Isle of Man’s most cherished summer traditions. Held at Knockaloe Farm in Patrick, it’s a time when the Island comes alive in a vibrant celebration of tradition and community. This year, Conister Bank was proud to take centre stage as Headline Sponsor, and what a weekend it was!
From the moment the gates opened, the Conister Bank ‘Purple Pavilion’ became a lively hub of conversation. Focusing on fun, fundraising, and celebrating 90 years of our heritage, we set out to make a meaningful impact.
Celebrating Local Impact
Visitors of all ages joined in the fun at our stand. From spinning the prize wheel to win vouchers from brilliant local businesses, to guessing the name of our limited edition 90-year teddy bear, there was something for everyone. Crazy golf, fresh coffee, and a host of giveaways kept the energy high and the smiles flowing all weekend.
Supporting Isle Listen
At the heart of our presence this year was Isle Listen, a local mental health charity doing vital work to support young people across the Island. Through family-friendly activities, interactive games by Matrix Arena, and generous donations, we helped raise awareness and funds for a cause that truly matters.
We were also pleased to welcome Sight Matters and Love Tech to the Purple Pavilion, local charities making a great impact on our Island. Their presence added even more depth to the weekend.
90 Years of Conister: A Celebration of Community, Heritage and Connection
This year marks Conister Bank’s 90th anniversary, and the Royal Manx Agricultural Show was the perfect place to celebrate with the people and businesses who make the Isle of Man so special.
For nine decades, Conister has grown alongside the Island not just as a financial provider, but as a committed part of the community. The Show gave us a chance to reflect on that journey, with pride in the relationships we’ve built and excitement for what’s to come.
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Purple Pavilion. You helped make this year’s Royal Manx Agricultural Show truly unforgettable!
