Horse trams in Douglas will be running this weekend to celebrate an important point of its year.

Isle of Man Transport says the service will be in action during the day on Saturday and Sunday to mark the end of the Islands Heritage Railway Season.

It was announced back in September the trams wouldn't be running for the remainder of 2019 to allow construction to continue on the Douglas Promenade refurbishment.

Officials say journeys this weekend will cost £1 each and will operate between Derby Castle and the Best Western Palace Hotel.
