Manx Museum wants open on Sundays following trial

Wed, 19 Dec 2018

Manx National Heritage have confirmed their intention to continue opening the Manx Museum on Sundays.

The announcement comes nine months into a year-long trial of Sunday openings.

Research findings include 66% of visitors saying they combined their visit with an event, shopping or eating out in Douglas, indicating a positive contribution to the local economy.

MNH will now be requesting that an order be brought before Tynwald by its sponsoring Department, Department for Enterprise, to amend the Manx Museum’s opening hours, in accordance with the Manx Museum and National Trust Act.

If approved, revised opening hours will be applicable from 1 April 2019.
