Manx National Heritage has announced more of its iconic heritage sites can now open their doors from Friday following additional funding.
In addition to the four sites, Manx Museum, House of Manannan, Castle Rushen and Rushen Abbey which are currently open on a regular basis, Laxey Wheel, Peel Castle, Cregneash and the Grove Museum in Ramsey will also open on a regular basis. Castletown and Peggy site tours will also recommence.
With borders closed until recently, there has been insufficient demand and admission income to sustain regular opening of many of the Island-wide sites. In addition, MNH’s annual grant from the Manx Government has been significantly reduced this year with the Island’s economy stretched in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement, MNH said: "The opening of the heritage sites has, unfortunately, been one of the key casualties of this reduced funding."
"With the support of the Department for Enterprise, our application for funding to the ERG has been successful and MNH can now play a fuller part in the Island’s economic recovery. The funding will allow for the attached rota to be supported from 16 July, 2021 to 17 November, 2021."
