Transport festival to be held online

This years celebration of the Islands heritage transport will be held online later this year.

The Manx Heritage Transport Festival - between July 29 and August 2 - is set to take place virtually with the original occasion postponed amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

Organisers say more details of it will be issued closer to the opening date, and that whilst officials are sad they can't welcome people in person, they're excited to see what the new format will bring this time around.

Meanwhile, they've also confirmed the dates for next years festival between July 28 and August 1, 2021 where it's hoped the special arrangements originally planned for 2020 will be showcased.
