Moot Bunting


£9.00 GBP




Please Note: if you are an Isle of Man resident, you must enter 'Isle of Man' as the destination country, it will not accept an IM postcode if you enter 'United Kingdom'. This is a glitch with shopify that i cannot fix, you must select Isle of Man as the country NOT United Kingdom or it will tell you it cannot ship to your destination. I also offer collection in person Mon-Fri at the Villa Marina Arcade, Douglas. 

Here in the Isle of Man we don't really celebrate Halloween as you know it, we celebrate Hop tu Naa, an old Manx holiday that predates Halloween but shares a lot of similarities. The main difference is that for Hop tu Naa, people carve and carry turnip lanterns (known here as moots) instead of pumpkins.

The custom of carving turnips for Halloween or Samhain can be found across the Celtic nations and is a custom still often continued to this day.

This lovely string of bunting features 8 different moot designs, printed on 300gsm cardstock, laser cut in my studio, entirely designed and made in the Isle of Man. 

The moots measure approx 13x16xm each, and come ready punched with holes and 1.8m of string to hand them off
