MNH venues open for business again

It's the first day of the Easter Holidays for school children across the Island, and Manx National Heritage is hoping to find ways to keep them entertained.

The majority of its venues will open again for the spring season, including Castle Rushen, Peel Castle and Rushen Abbey.

All students have been given the new ACE card, which allows them free access to all MNH venues.

MNH is also getting ready for Easter, with a Dragon Egg Hunt at Castle Rushen daily from March 31 to April 6.

There's an Easter Fairy Trail at Rushen Abbey from April 3 to April 6 and Cregneash will host its annual egg rolling competition on Easter Monday.

History in Heel 'pop ups' celebrating remarkable Island women will be on display across the Island from today, as will the Ulster's TT Heroes exhibition at the House of Manannan in Peel.
