The continental market will not be returning to the Douglas high street this Christmas.
The decision was reached after Douglas Development Partnership was unable to secure the preferred providers who had staged the markets in previous years.
As an alternative it is appealing to local stallholders to stage a weekend long event starting on December 20th.
There will be 20 stalls in total placed along Castle Street and Marina Road.
Town centre manager Michelle O'Malley says the focus is local:
