New Businesses to try this Christmas

We love to see new ideas and businesses choosing to set up in the Isle of Man, and this Christmas there’s more and more passionate individuals setting up their own independents. We’ve put together a short list of some new local businesses that you can support during the Christmas period.

Henderson & Glass, Douglas

Now in the recently transformed and history rich 11 Castle Street building in the heart of the capital, Henderson and Glass offer a mix of services. In the day, they open their doors to customers and serve their in-house roasted blend coffee that’s sourced ethically and sustainably. As night falls, Henderson and Glass switches into a relaxed and modern environment to serve cocktails and evening drinks.

Element Isle, Tynwald Mills

A small family run business by an Island born duo,  Element Isle specialise in designing and crafting beautiful jewellery which takes inspiration from the environment that the Isle of Man offers. To put it simply ‘”To wear a piece of Element Isle jewellery is to feel a connection to a simpler time and place, and a gentle sense of peace that comes from being in tune with the simplest elements of nature; Connected to stories of the past and becoming part of your stories of the future”.

You can view the range that Element Isle has to offer online or at their studio at Tynwald Mills, open on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
