Hundreds slide for charity
There'll be a chance to splash, dash and help the Island's hospice at a new summer fund-raising event today (23 August).
Hundreds of places have been claimed to ride the urban water slide - 100 metres downhill from Port Jack on a lilo!
Hospice has bought its own water slide after the attraction proved popular in a number of UK cities.
Ten pound tickets were allocated by ballot for a limited number of places and riders have been given time slots.
Head of income generation at hospice Mary Doyle says the outdoor event should be a real spectacle:
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
Airport warns high winds could impact flights
Bus talks to continue over festive season
Roads in centre of Douglas to close for annual Santa Dash
