Organisers say event will be rescheduled for 2021
The Island's annual literature festival has been cancelled this year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Manx Litfest was due to take place from 22-27 September.
Organisers say with the Island's borders closed for the foreseeable future, and uncertainty over gathering restrictions, they've had to cancel the event.
Festival director John Quirk says they've waited as late as possible, to make sure the decision is the right one.
Plans are in place to reschedule for next year.
