Group Friendly Activities

The Isle of Man is an ideal holiday destination for groups of any size, age or interest. With a diverse range of things to do, you’ll find something for everybody here. 

The Island may only measure 33 miles in length and 13 miles in width, but it’s packed to the brim with activities, events and adventures for all to enjoy. 

From Victorian heritage railways and quirky traditional events to non-stop action packed adventures and wildlife watching, you’ll find something to suit every member of your friendship or family group during your stay – with many places offering a group discount if your party has more than 15 people. 

For a journey back in time, the Isle of Man’s Steam Railway, Manx Electric Railway and Douglas Horse Trams are a fun way to explore the Island’s impressive landscape and heritage sites in a unique way.  Many of the heritage sites – including the Great Laxey Wheel and Mine Trail and Rushen Abbey – offer group rates and coach drop offs so it’s worth pre-booking these attractions.

The Isle of Man also has many museums with a coach drop off facility and group discounts including the Railway Museumin Port Erin, National Folk Museum in Cregneash and the House of Manannan in Peel. Here you can learn about in the Island’s colourful history and observe interesting artefacts unique to the Isle of Man

And for free admission and coach drop off, why not learn about the Island’s Celtic, Viking and maritime past at the Manx Museum in Douglas or view a collection of vehicles that are of predominantly Manx relevance at Jurby Transport Museum?

Each year the Isle of Man plays host to a number of events that celebrate everything from Manx culture and heritage, motorsport (including the famous Isle of Man TT Races), music, food and drink and local theatre. So, if your group has a specific interest, you may wish to organise your trip to tie in with a special event.
