Peel Heritage Trust was formed in September 1989 by Malcolm
Kelly, then chair of Peel Town Commissioners.
The main current project for the Trust is the display (near
to the harbour bridge) to pay respect to the Isle of Man
railway,
which served Peel from 1873 until 1968.

The Trust has
organised around 150 events relating to the social,
economic and architectural history of Peel and the Isle
of Man.
We currently host around a dozen
events
each year comprising outdoor visits and walks in the summer,
and a series of lectures in the winter. The 'Secret Gardens
of Peel' are opened to the public every couple of years,
bringing hundreds of visitors to the town.
The Trust is managed by a Committee
of 6 elected members and representatives from Peel Town Commissioners,
the MHK for Peel and a number of co-opted members.
The Committee meets monthly to organise
the work of the Trust. A planning sub-committee considers
all Peel planning applications and comments to DoLGE when
appropriate.
