2018: Year of Our Island is about celebrating all that is great about living on the Isle of Man from our environment, our culture, our heritage and our community. Over the course of the year people are encouraged to Explore More, Do More and Share More.

This page is dedicated to providing a guide to all the current activities, events and locations that are available for children to take part in over the summer holidays.

Our Island Rocks!!

Look out for our special 2018: Year of Our Island rocks that are ready to be found along the 12 routes of the Year of Our Island Trail. There is one rock per route and a prize for every three you find. When you have found a rock take a photograph and upload to @ourisland2018 #ourisland2018 then replace or re-hide for the next explorer. When you have found 3 then head to the Welcome Centre where a prize awaits you!
