ISLE of Man Railways and Bus Vannin hope everyone will get onboard to experience their special summer events starting this month.
Cherrywood Four Star Bed & Breakfast in Ramsey Isle of Man proudly brings you news of enjoyable events taking place on the wonderful Isle of Man. Why not browse our site to find out more.
The first 2012 Pie in the Sky stargazing and supper event on Snaefell Summit will be hosted by the railways and the Isle of Man Astronomical Society next Friday and Saturday (April 27 and 28).
A spokesman said: ‘The Manx night sky on our April dates will be spectacular for observers with three bright planets in the sky and a fourth, Jupiter, setting low in the west as we arrive at the summit.
‘Venus will shine like a beacon in the western sky, Mars will shine in the south western sky with a distinctive red hue in the constellation of Leo and the majestic ringed planet Saturn will also be clearly seen in the south in the constellation of Virgo.’
The tram will leave Douglas at 6.40pm, arriving at the summit at 7.45pm, with supper at 8pm and stargazing at 9.15pm. An illuminated tram will return at 11pm, arriving in Douglas at 12.05am. If visibility is poor an illustrated lecture has been prepared. Tickets are £29. The event will be repeated on the weekend of September 28 and 29.
Also now available for the summer, until October, are the Seven Kingdoms roast lunches on Sundays in the Snaefell Summit Restaurant, costing £25 for two courses or £29 for three, including travel.
Alternatively, enjoy a sunset dinner in the restaurant – running until mid-September. Tickets, which include a three-course meal, cost £30 on Wednesday evenings and £35 on Fridays. Bookings can be made on 673631 between 9am and 4.30pm.
The Mountain Railway timetable can be found at iombusandrail.info or from bus/rail stations and the Welcome Centre.
Between Friday, May 4, and Monday, May 7, the steam railway will host a Rail Ale journey down to the Falcon’s Nest Real Ale Festival in Port Erin.

On the Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday, the 2pm departure from Douglas will include the bar saloon carriage offering real ales to those with proof of age.
