Children can now enjoy a new Viking trail which has come to life on Island.

The Pagan Lady's Quest is running from the Christmas holidays until Easter 2020 inviting youngsters to search for the magical beads of the Pagan Lady's necklace which have been hidden by Loki the Trickster around the Manx Musem and House of Manannan.

It's been launched by Manx National Heritage which says it hopes kids will engage with the heritage 'on their doorstep' and learn the stories behind the Manx crosses and the Islands Viking history.

It costs £1 per trail and can be found at the Manx Museum shop and House of Manannan welcome desk.
