Summerland memorial tonight

Tue, 02 Aug 2022


A memorial service for the Summerland fire tragedy will be held this evening.

Douglas Borough Council has confirmed the annual commemoration will take place at 7pm.

Members of the public are welcome to attend the service in the Kaye Memorial Garden on Queen’s Promenade.

This year marks 49 years since the tragedy.

A simple memorial was first placed in the Garden by the Council in 1998, to commemorate those who died on August 2, 1973, when the leisure complex was destroyed by fire. It was replaced by a more fitting monument in 2013, the 40th anniversary of the disaster.
