Organisers of this year's Manx Life exhibition say the event was so successful it will now be run annually.
More than 6,000 people visited the Island's Ideal Home Show over two days earlier this month.
That surprised promoters Mannin Media and Manx Radio, as it was held in the Villa Marina on the warmest weekend of the summer!
But traders and visitors alike have given positive feedback to the wide variety of trade stalls and improved entertainment programme on offer.
Mannin Media's Chief Executive Steve Brown says it's a unique showcase for companies and organisations from all over the Island:
King Gaming's license suspended amidst criminal investigation
Ministers to meet with LVA to discuss hospitality concerns
Looneys of Ramsey to close
