St. Mary’s, the largest and liveliest island, serves as the cultural hub, hosting everything from lively markets to open-air performances. Tresco, with its refined atmosphere and stunning sub-tropical gardens, offers elegant gatherings, makers’ events, and wellbeing events. Bryher’s rugged charm and St. Martin’s serene beauty provide the perfect backdrops for intimate, down-to-earth celebrations. On St. Agnes, the smallest and most remote island, you’ll find quirky fairs and traditional festivities brimming with creative flair.

From performance theatre and comedy to gig rowing, creative arts and live music, there’s something happening year-round across the islands. Each event offers a perfect opportunity to soak up the distinct character of Scilly’s enchanting Isles.
