  Easter bank holidays

  Good Friday is a bank holiday across the UK and Easter Monday everywhere but Scotland. The long weekend opens the domestic touring season: popular towns, coasts and parks get busy, rooms cost more, and rail engineering works often cut or replace train services. Fuente ↗

  1 Oct – 15 Mar · normalmenteTemporada de aves

  Dark-bellied brent geese arrive from the Siberian coast onto the harbours at Newtown, Bembridge and the Yar, with godwits and curlew on the same mud. The estuaries are why you would bring binoculars here in January. Fuente ↗

  5–15 Oct · normalmenteFestival de artes

  Four days of talks at Northwood House in Cowes in early October, with spillover into St Mary's church and the Royal Yacht Squadron. The island is winding down by then and the ferries are cheap again. Fuente ↗

  Fossil hunting season

  Attractions shut for winter

  1 Nov – 15 Mar

  Most of the paid attractions, the seasonal cafes and a lot of the seafront hotels close from November to spring, and the ferry timetable thins. The coast path and the downs do not. Fuente ↗
