Problems with buses meant a £15,000 science and technology event for children had to be postponed this year.
In the House of Keys this week, Enterprise minister Tim Johnston faced questions about STEMfest.
The event at the Villa Marina was called off and it's now thought it'll be held next year.
Mr Johnston said the problem was with transporting children there:
Coastguards and firefighters rescue boy from cliff

Lifeboat launched to help fishing boat
Smartmeter alert problem now fixed, says Manx Utilities
Merchant Navy Day marked this week
