RHT: The Life & Works of Edward Faragher aka Ned Beg Hom Ruy

RHT have advised that due to the icy weather, this event has been postponed until Monday 12th January.

Adults £7 / RHT Friends £5 

Come along for stories from the days when thousands of Manxmen sailed to the mackerel fishing in Ireland every summer, and learn about the life and times of Edward Faragher (1831-1907) — known in Manx as Ned Beg Hom Ruy — one of the greatest ever writers in Manx. 

Faragher was many things during his life; pupil, cabin boy, galley cook, fisherman, skipper, safe maker, labourer, craftsman, rambler, invalid and exile — but he was also a poet, tradition bearer, philosopher, story-teller, translator, sermoniser, singer, and man of letters; who wrote beautifully and honestly in both English and Manx. 

If you have never heard about this remarkable man before, come along and learn about him. If you are familiar with his work, come along and enjoy learning more and to celebrate his life.
