Festival of Nature

The Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust is launching the first Scilly Festival of Nature, this October.

From Saturday 15th to Sunday 23rd, activities, events, walks, talks and more will be taking place across the islands, all designed to bring people closer to local wildlife and celebrate Scilly’s iconic land- and seascapes. Across nine days, the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust, alongside local island partners, are encouraging everyone to discover the wild side of Scilly. With a festival programme made up of nearly 60 events, there is guaranteed to be something for everyone.

There are also guided farm tours, local produce markets, artistic workshops from renowned artists including beach painter Ellie Verracchia and watercolour artist Stephen Morris, creative workshops from local crafters Maisie Humphries, Oriel Hicks and Vickie Heaney, wildlife cruises for seabirds and seals, vineyard tours, live music from local musicians and English folk singer Seth Lakeman, wildlife walks and experiences from a variety of local experts, and much more. We hope that this eclectic array of activities, events and guides will inspire more people to take action for nature and feel empowered to protect wildlife and our natural environment for future generations.

Each event is individually ticketed, with all booking information available online, and many events are free to attend. People traveling to the islands to attend the Festival can also use the booking code FESTNAT22 to receive a 10% discount when travelling with Isles of Scilly Travel from 10th– 29th October 2022, on the Scillonian III or on Skybus from Land’s End.
