Douglas Promenade closes Monday as the iconic TT funfair arrives on the Isle of Man
Get ready for thrills and spills! Douglas Promenade will close temporarily this May as the beloved TT funfair sets up for its annual celebration. If you're planning to visit the island during TT festival season, here's what you need to know about access and opening times.
The Department of Infrastructure has announced that a section of the promenade between Granville Street and the War Memorial will close from midday on Monday, May 25, 2026. This closure allows the funfair operators time to set up all the rides and attractions safely.
The promenade will reopen to the public at 11am on Thursday, May 28, once setup is complete and everything is ready for visitors.
Once the rides are up and running, the TT funfair will be open from Thursday, May 28 through Sunday, June 7, 2026. This gives visitors almost two weeks to enjoy the traditional fairground attractions that are a highlight of the TT festival calendar.
If you're heading to the Isle of Man for the TT this year, make a note of these dates and plan your Douglas Promenade visits accordingly. The funfair is a fantastic family-friendly attraction during the festival, offering classic rides and entertainment alongside the world-famous motorcycle racing action.
