Walk Scilly Festival returns from Thursday 8 to Saturday 17 April 2027. Visit Isles of Scilly has confirmed the ten-day date range; the detailed route programme and booking arrangements are not yet available.
The festival uses guided walks to interpret the islands’ wildlife, archaeology, history and landscape. Past programmes have covered all five inhabited islands and selected uninhabited islands; the 2027 walk names and routes will be confirmed once the organiser releases them.
Visitor information
Dates: Thursday 8 to Saturday 17 April 2027.
Venue: Routes across the Isles of Scilly. Each walk will have its own meeting point, island, duration and terrain once the 2027 programme is published.
Admission: Not yet confirmed. The current official listing supplies dates but does not provide a complete 2027 ticket structure, so this page does not quote a price or describe the festival as free.
Travel: Many routes depend on inter-island boats. Check the meeting island before choosing accommodation, and allow for weather-related changes to crossings. A walk on an uninhabited island will require the transport named by the organiser rather than an independent crossing.
Preparation: Wait for the route description before judging accessibility, distance or difficulty. Footwear, age guidance and dog policies can differ between walks and should be taken from the individual booking page.
The confirmed dates are useful for accommodation planning, but visitors should not infer a particular walk from a previous programme. Recheck the official listing when 2027 tickets and route notes are released.
