Outdoor markets in Douglas are making a comeback.

The first one is being held this Saturday, after which they'll take place on the second Saturday of each month until October.

As in previous years the markets will be in Strand Street and Regent Street, in the vicinity of Isle of Man Bank, and will run from 10am to 5pm.

Douglas town centre manager Oliver Cheshire said: ‘With the easing of COVID-19 restrictions the time is right to do all we can to support local traders and give a boost to the Douglas visitor experience.’
