Laxey

Laxey is a village on the East side of the island being North of the capital of Douglas and best known for its large waterwheel.

It is a small town, with a population of about 1800, so events will require planning or pubs and restaurants will be overwhelmed. This will be more similar to earlier LBWs than the recent ones held in larger places.
