The Manx Museum is welcoming visitors again from today.

It's the next stage of a phased reopening of Manx National Heritage sites which is also seeing the House of Mannanan in Peel fully reopen after it partially opened on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Castle Rushen and Rushen Abbey are currently expected to open their doors again from Saturday, May 1.

From that date, the castle will be available five days a week between Thursday and Monday and the abbey will be open three days a week from Saturday to Monday.
