Details of where and when to Hunt the Wren

Hundreds of people are expected to continue the annual tradition of Hunting the Wren this morning, by performing a Manx dance outdoors across the Island.

The boxing day custom dates back as far as the 1810s, but doesn't involve hunting real birds anymore.

Caroline Helps leads the proceedings in Port St Mary.

She's been telling Manx Radio's William King about the dance:
