What's Open over Christmas & New Year

Tresco Island Spa

Our indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and gym are open daily (closed Christmas Day, Boxing Day & New Year's Day), with ila therapies bookable at select times. The Sea Garden spa facilities will also be open.

The New Inn

Open daily throughout the festive season for drinks, lunch and dinner, pre-lunch drinks on Christmas Day, followed by our Christmas Lunch (pre-booking essential).

Tresco Stores

Open throughout the period for daily essentials, treats and festive favourites (closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day).

Abbey Garden

It's a far-from-bleak midwinter on Tresco; the garden is open daily, ablaze with colour, with hundreds of plants in bloom even at the New Year Flower Count.

Scheduled Boating

Except for transfers, there will be minimal boat trips over the festive period - it's usually just one or two a week to St Mary's, with no trips to other islands.

Events & Activities

From candlelit carols to Makers Markets; serene seasonal yoga to New Year's Eve celebrations, we'll have a small but perfectly formed calendar of events.
