The Niarbyl Cafe is set to reopen next year, Manx National Heritage has revealed.
And the Bay Room Cafe in the Manx Museum, Douglas, is set to be back in operation before the end of this year.
The Woodbourne Group has been selected as operator for both cafes, with a pledge that the focus will be on local produce and quality food.
MNH says it has undertaken “extensive” refurbishment at Niarbyl Cafe to highlight its spectacular setting.

Connie Lovel, Chief Executive of Manx National Heritage, said: “We were encouraged by the quality of interest received in both opportunities and are delighted to be moving forward with Woodbourne Group.
“The Manx Museum and Niarbyl offer two very different but equally special visitor experiences and the quality of our hospitality offer is an important part of that.”
David Upton-Jones, managing director of Woodbourne Group, said: “We’re so excited to be partnering with Manx National Heritage on two milestone projects that mean so much to the local community.”
Woodbourne Group says it intends to open the Bay Room Café before the end of 2026, with Niarbyl Café expected to reopen in spring 2027.
Both cafes have been closed since 2023.
