Father Christmas has rescheduled a visit to Port Erin.

He was blown off course on the evening of the big Light Up for the Christmas Tree Festival, but will now be dropping in on Friday morning (December 23rd) to give out a sack full of goodies.

Children can call in at the Shoprite store in the village from 10am.

Meanwhile, the Port Erin Christmas Tree Trail continues until the following Friday, December 30th.

Leaflets on how to take part can be picked up from many local shops.

Also in Port Erin, the Regal Singers are giving a Christmas concert, with guest Paul Costain, next Tuesday, December 27th.

It's at the Methodist Church in the village, at 7.30pm.
