Manxonia House to re-open under new name

An historic building in Port St Mary is set to reopen next month following a multimillion pound restoration project.

Manxonia House, which was originally built as a boys' school in the 1800s, will now have a café, cocktail bar, restaurant, garden area and farm shop. 

It'll reopen as 'Kellas,' after work began on the building in 2020.

Becki Gelling, who's behind the project with her auntie Amanda Dixon, says the developers have celebrated the building's heritage and legacy, preserving the original features of the property.
