Hands on history as kids help recreate giant Manx deer

Saturday, 21 November 2015 00:00

Local school children are helping to create a life size replica of a giant Manx deer - from rubbish.

World renowned sculptor Steve Allen tells us why they're making the huge cardboard replica:

St John's school has been helping in the nine-foot re-creation of the deer which was dug up in the village over 100 years ago.

The sculpture will be on display at the Manx Museum until the original is returned.
