Christmas 2020 on Tresco

The festive season is a wonderful time on Tresco – the tradition and beauty of an Isles of Scilly Christmas a far cry from the hustle and bustle of the mainland.

Enjoy a bracing clifftop walk, a soak in the spa, a board game in front of the log burner, or a meander through the colourful blooms of the Abbey Garden in winter.

Enjoy our island candlelit carol service and traditional Christmas Day service at St Nicholas Church, or live music at The New Inn to see in 2021.

Celebrate with family and friends in a self-catering cottage, or cosy down together in a Sea Garden Apartment. Find out more below...
