The world-famous tin bath championships will be taking to the waters of Castletown today.

The occasion organised by the Castletown Ale Drinkers Society is expected to get underway at around 2.30pm in Castletown Harbour.

The 49th annual event was given the green light to go ahead back in June following the relaxing of social distancing restrictions.

Last year, the championships raised around £7,000 for charitable causes with Abigail Morgan and David Watt winning the women's and men's races respectively.
