There will be free parking at three public car parks in Douglas on the evening of the capital's fireworks display.

Douglas Borough Council has announced facilities at the Bottleneck, Chester Street and Shaws Brow will be free of charge between 6pm and Midnight on Friday, November 1.

However, officials are advising motorists there will be no parking at the Loch Promenade walkway and drivers are being urged to stay clear of the area in the evening because of the ongoing works and road closures.

The occasion will kick off with the judging of the best guy competition at 7.30pm - the display is then set to start to start at 8pm.
