Learning Hunt the Wren dance is easy!

Tradition marked across the Island on Boxing Day

It's easy to join in a Manx tradition on Boxing Day - even for those who've never taken part before.

The organiser of Port St Mary's Hunt the Wren festivities says learning the traditional dance is straight-forward.

No longer about hunting, Hunt the Wren now celebrates the coming together of the community with singing and dancing.
