The past will be celebrated and future plans unveiled at an event to mark five years since the formation of Rushen Heritage Trust.

It will include updates on the Trust's plans for a heritage centre on the site of the former bus shelter in Bridson Street, Port Erin, along with news on other exciting projects that are in the pipeline, and details of the launch of Living with the Sea, the Trust's latest book, which focuses on the history of Port St Mary from 1829-1979.

This is an opportunity for everyone interested in heritage of the "beautiful south" to have your say and get involved. The event is free to attend. To help the Trust gauge interest - and provide refreshments - if those wishing to attend could let Trust coordinator John Quirk know by emailing rushenht@gmail.com or calling him on 464634.
