Tower of Refuge walk to raise money for RNLI

Tuesday, 1 April 2014 00:00

Thousands of people are expected to walk out to the Tower of Refuge this evening.

The Douglas Development Partnership is hosting an escorted walk from 6pm onwards – to coincide with one of the lowest tides of the year.

It’s the third time it’s been organised – last year 2,800 people walked to the monument raising around £2,500.

The event – which is free - is open to everyone but children must be accompanied by an adult.

Town centre manager Michelle O’Malley says the RNLI is set to benefit from the activity:
