Conister Bank Takes Centre Stage at the 2025 Royal Manx Agricultural Show
Every summer, Knockaloe bursts into life as thousands of Islanders come together to celebrate the very best of Manx tradition, community, and countryside. In 2025, Conister Bank is proud to be right at the heart of it all as the headline sponsor of the Royal Manx Agricultural Show.
Carol Kennaugh, Secretary of the Royal Manx Agricultural Society, said:
“We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Conister Bank as our headline sponsor for 2025. Their unwavering support for the Island’s agricultural and wider community makes them the perfect partner for what promises to be our biggest and best Show yet. We’re incredibly excited to be working together to deliver a truly memorable event for everyone.”
Taking place on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 August, the Show promises two days packed with fun, excitement, and something for everyone – and Conister Bank is thrilled to be taking its support to the next level.
Having been a proud supporter of the Show since 2017, Conister Bank has played an important role in helping the event grow and thrive – and now their commitment steps up a gear, marking an exciting new chapter in their partnership.
You’ll find the Conister Bank team at their brand-new trade stand just inside the Main Gate. Throughout the weekend, they’ll be ready to meet visitors, share what they do, host interactive activities, and bring some brilliant new ideas to life as part of the Show experience.
Andy Bass, Head of Sales at Conister Bank, added:
“We’re turning 90 this year and what better way to celebrate than by getting right into the heart of one of the Island’s favourite events! Conister has always been part of Island life, and the Royal Manx Agricultural Show feels like home to us. We’ve got lots of exciting ideas up our sleeve for 2025, and we can’t wait to meet everyone, have some fun, and make it a Show to remember!”
The Royal Manx Agricultural Show proudly celebrates the Island’s rich farming heritage, while offering a vibrant experience for everyone. Alongside the impressive livestock displays and agricultural showcases, visitors can also enjoy live music, local produce, family entertainment, and a true community atmosphere across the two days.
For over 90 years, Conister Bank has been more than a financial provider – it’s been part of Island life. Founded on the Isle of Man in 1935, the Bank understands what makes the Island special: community spirit, resilience, and a strong sense of togetherness. Supporting the Show is a natural extension of Conister’s deep connection to the place it proudly calls home.
