Visitor information
Dates: 2027 dates not yet announced. The 2026 festival ran Friday 11 to Sunday 20 September.
Venue: Participating locations across the archipelago. The festival is not confined to one field, hall or town, so confirm the island before booking travel or accommodation.
Admission: Mixed. Some listings are ordinary food purchases while tours, meals and limited-capacity experiences may need advance booking and separate payment. There is no single all-programme admission price; tours, meals and limited-capacity experiences are booked separately.
Travel: Check Isles of Scilly Travel for any festival travel offer on its Penzance and Land’s End routes before booking the next edition.
Planning: Build the day around inter-island boat times when an activity is away from your accommodation island. Evening events can finish after the usual daytime boat pattern, so do not assume a same-day return without checking the operator.
Check the official programme for menus, allergens, age limits, availability and cancellation terms on each event.
