Be Aware

These dates will be subject to change at short notice due to external elements such as the weather.

Do factor this into any decisions you make about your stay.

What about getting to the Isle of Man?

Two choices - you can either book the Steam Packet ferry or fly. We did read about a group of fans from Norway who hired their own ship!

When can I Book a Ferry?

There is always huge demand for the ferries and if this is your travel choice then you need to book this as soon as they are available.

When will the 2026 Ferry Tickets be Available?

The 2026 tickets went on sale Monday 19th May 2025 at 0830 local time. More information available here.

What about Flights?

Flights are normally much easier to book and direct flights are generally available from:

• Belfast
• Birmingham
• Bristol
• Dublin
• Edinburgh
• Liverpool
• London City, Gatwick & Heathrow
• Manchester

You can use a flight comparison website such as skyscanner to identify the flights that best suit your circumstances.

What about Transport from the Airport?

Public transport or a taxi are your main options.

The airport has its own pages devoted to this.

If you plan to use a bus then take a look at this website which shows the location of all the buses on the island and is updated every 10 seconds. You can see where your bus is.

Accommodation

With over 51,000 people flocking to the island for the TT, accommodation becomes tricky and potentially very expensive. Hotels and B&Bs are always in very short supply (often booked a year in advance).

A significant alternative is camping if you want to bring your own gear and there are a number of campsites available.

Also available, and becoming much more popular, is pre-erected camping and glamping where companies provide everything for you.

We are such a company and have been doing this since 2009 both  in the UK and across Europe covering F1, MotoGP and now the TT (since 2018).

You will enjoy the most relaxing and hassle free Isle of Man TT ever by staying with us in our lovely pre-pitched camping tent or luxurious glamping accommodation including cosy cabins. Let us be your raceside home from home!

• Here is a gallery of photos of our site
• Superb location on Peel Road just 1 mile from Douglas city centre and the race passes our campsite entrance!
• Pre-pitched glamping tents and cosy cabins to give you that little bit of extra luxury for your stay
• Pre-pitched standard tents fully kitted to make your stay as relaxing as possible
• You will find our frequently asked questions page useful in sorting out how to go about visiting the 2026 TT

Southern 100 Racing

There's actually racing other than on the TT Circuit.

There are also the Southern 100 Races just before the TT.

The races will take place on the three days immediately before the start of the TT qualifying week.

The 2026 dates are 22nd, 23rd and 24th May.

Why not stay with us for these races? You will benefit from our cheaper accommodation rates and the ferries/flights are likely to be cheaper and easier to book.

More information on the S100 is available here.
