Final preparations are under way for the second Manx Litfest which starts next week.
The literary celebration will bring together readers, writers and bestselling authors and poets from around the British Isles.Well-known authors Adele Parks, Andrew Taylor and Barbara Erskine will be among those taking part in a series of talks, workshops and question and answer sessions.

No Onchan Park plan, say commissioners
Laxey campsite to get campervan improvements
Local authority: don't suffer in silence at Xmas
Government reminder over salt bins
Weather warning in place for high tides
