by isleofman.com 19th March 2011

THE Great Laxey Wheel opens for the season today (Saturday).

 

The attraction will be open from 10am to 4pm and the Manx Electric Railway will also be open for the season too.

 

Castle Rushen opened last Saturday when the regular steam train service from Douglas to the south of the Island began and all other Manx National Heritage seasonal sites will be open from Friday, April 1.

 

Meanwhile Manx National Heritage museum sites have been officially 'accredited' by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA).

 

The accreditation acknowledges that Manx National Heritage sites have achieved a status in which they’re considered as achieving the same standards as some of the biggest and best museums in the UK.

 

A statement from Manx National Heritage said: "We have been proven to meet high standards for how our sites are run, how we look after our collections and the services we provide to our visitors."

 

This year marks 125 years of Manx National Heritage.
