Autumn Tide Festival

As the seasons ebb and flow and autumn settles in, trade winter worries for warm island moments.

Autumn Tide is your invitation to savour the richness of harvest, the calm of cooler days, and the joy of gathering. Bathe in the October sunshine, feast on island fare, and linger by the fire as the evenings draw in.

From garden strolls to sandbar walks and immersive experiences in our remarkable landscape, each day brings something new to discover. The New Inn will sit at the heart of the Festival, with opportunities to meet our island producers, savour seasonal specials, taste a range of guest ales, and join locals for a yarn about island life.

Led by islanders, artisans, and nature lovers, the programme promises something for every soul: tuck into freshly caught seafood, sip locally brewed spirits, take an invigorating dip in the sea, or unwind to the sounds of live island music.

The Isles of Scilly may be small, but the Autumn Tide Festival reveals just how much they hold. Book your stay now and be part of something truly special.

From garden tours and shipwreck talks to drawing classes and boat trips, there are a range of ticketed events you don't want to miss. However, Autumn Tide Festival is a celebration of all that the Isles of Scilly has to offer so many of the events are free and you can just turn up! Wake to the rise of the sun and await the weather and tide to see where the day takes you...
