Hop tu naa is a very old tradition in the Isle of Man, celebrated each year on the 31st October with songs, rhymes, dancing, turnip lanterns, curious customs and stories about the local character Jinny the Witch!. The Manx Heritage Foundation has just updated their Hop tu naa activity pack which is available on this HERE (link updated 2017)
The educational pack now includes more background information, a story told by Sue Woolley, ideas for carving your turnip, old rhymes rediscovered by Stephen Miller and new songs written by the Bree students. Hop tu naa is the real Hallowe’en!
