Manx National Heritage is celebrating 'women who made the Isle of Man' in a new exhibition.

'History in Heels' will put the spotlight on untold stories of women in the Island's past with pop-up displays and events in several of its venues.

It'll document the Island's women across the centuries - from a civil war countess who led in her husband's absence to the fastest woman around the TT course.

Opening times for 'History in Heels' events can be found online at manxnationalheritage.im.
