Isle of Man Farm Shop Company to bring 'iconic building back to its former glory'

It's hoped a former restaurant in Glen Helen which was gutted by fire in 2020 will soon reopen as a farm shop selling only local produce.

The lease for the Swiss Chalet is to be signed by the Isle of Man Farm Shop Company today (Monday 3 November).

In a post on social media, the company confirmed it will soon have builders, electricians, plumbers and decorators on site to 'bring this iconic building back to its former glory'.

It confirmed it plans on opening a farm shop on the site, all whilst retaining the building's character.
