An exciting calendar of events is being planned for this year. As and when details are announced we will publish them here. There will be some great local events to give you a flavour of what goes on across the islands, as well as many reasons to visit and revisit the Isles of Scilly.
March 2027
Low Tide Experience
On a Spring Tide, for just an hour, the channel between Tresco and Bryher is shallow enough to cross on foot, providing a unique setting for a mini pop-up party. The team set up benches, a bar and firepits, and once the tide is low enough, visitors can walk across from either island to meet in the middle and enjoy the foodie delights and maybe some live music - a rare Scillonian experience. Activities are weather dependent.
