No travel exemptions for performers
Border restrictions could be a factor when it comes to booking acts to perform at the Villa Gaiety next year.
That's according to the head of the entertainment complex after travel exemptions for the cast and crew of this year's pantomime were denied by the Council of Ministers.
Disruption to performances as a result of coronavirus has resulted in more shows featuring local groups.
Emma Callin says working with more Manx acts had been on the cards for some time:
'Bleak future' for Manx businesses if people don't shop local
Declining amount of food production 'quite frightening'
Charity continuing to provide support to family of murdered teenager
'Significant progress' on Manxman repairs over the last week
