Beach Buddies returns home

A special beach cleaning event is due to take place this weekend at Niarbyl.

It has been arranged by world-famous charity, Beach Buddies- established to make Manx beaches the cleanest in the world.

The session will take place at Niarbyl Beach, a special place in charity history.

Founder Bill Dale has worked alongside Manx National Heritage to help preserve a fisherman's cottage on the coastline there.

Known as as Knockuskey cottage, the historic building is set for renovation over the next year after storm damage.

Everyone's invited to bring tea and cakes to enjoy after the beach clean on Sunday.  It starts at 10.30am.
