The entrance to the enchanted forest before the damage

Vandals have destroyed the Christmas exhibition in Castletown.

The lights have been pulled from the roof in the enchanted forest, the reindeer has been stolen and Santa's workshop and the nativity scene have been damaged.

Chairman of Castletown Commissioners - Colin Leather - says it's devastating that someone would do this, but that they will be ready for the crowds at the weekend [play clip]

Officers at Castletown Police Station are investigating the incident, and are keen to hear from anyone who has information on what has happened.
