Christmas markets in full swing this weekend

Ramsey pier tree lights to be switched on

There are several Christmas markets around the Island and a lights switch on today.

There are artisan markets from 10am at Tynwald Mills and an 11am start at Close Leece Farm - both run at the same times tomorrow.

There are craft fairs and markets at King William's College theatre and Port Erin Arts Centre from 11am.

A whole host of other events are taking place as the Island starts to get into the festive swing.

Later, at 4:30pm, Captain Stuart McKenzie will switch on the Queen's Pier Christmas tree lights with Ramsey Choral and The Summer Singers on hand for some carol singing.
