Rushen Heritage Trust represents a way for people to discover the heritage of the beautiful south of the Isle of Man.

The opening of our new Rushen Heritage Centre (RHC) in Port Erin is a significant step forward for the Trust, providing us with a permanent base for the first time since we were established in 2014.

RHC will open to the public from Easter through to the end of October each year, acting as an information centre, for heritage and tourism, and housing regular exhibitions. 

RHT is non-profit organisation, led by a Board of Directors, but it is our volunteers who are the lifeblood of what we do; they are our curators, choosing fascinating topics across a wide spectrum of our history to research and present.

Each individual project team is responsible for delivering its own vision, which may be publication of a book, an exhibition, or other event.

The Board and project teams are supported by our Heritage Coordinator, whose role is to implement an agreed three-year plan, with the Board being responsible for governance, strategy, financial management and measurement of success.
