Manx2.com is showing its support for the recent reciprocal agreement between Manx National Heritage and the York Archaeological Trust by offering special fares to Leeds Bradford for the Friends of Manx National Heritage (FMNH).
Following the signing of the agreement, FMNH members who are resident in the Isle of Man will be able to use their membership cards to visit York Archaeological Trust historic sites such as the Jorvik Viking Centre, Jorvik Dig, Huntgate Dig and Barley Hall.
Visitors to York will be able to enjoy Jorvik’s latest exhibition ‘Valhalla: Examining Viking Burials in the British Isles’, which is on display until 5 November 2012 and features artefacts from excavations in both York and the Isle of Man.
In turn, York Archaeological Trust members will be able to use theirs at any Manx National Heritage site on the Island, including the Great Laxey Wheel, Castle Rushen, Peel Castle and Rushen Abbey.
Researching your Manx family history can be a very interesting and rewarding hobby. Trace your roots in the Isle of Man with our helpful of guide.
