Isle of Man TT 2021 Camping and Glamping News

21st November 2020

Hello, an update from your Isle of Man Glamping and Camping team. We hope you are all well and as ever remain excited to welcoming you all onsite one day soon.

I’m sure like many we have been following the updates and announcements from the Isle of Man Government.

In a recent press conference the The Isle of Man Chief Minister Howard Quayle said a final decision on the TT could be ‘imminent’ but that discussions were ongoing.

The Council of Ministers is exploring holding the 2021 TT later than its usual early summer fortnight.

He continued, there have been suggestions that with the Covid-19 vaccination roll out on the horizon, the government may look at moving the races from May/June to the back end of the summer.

‘I will confirm we are discussing this in the Council of Ministers at this moment in time but I can’t announce a decision at this moment.

‘We are going to try to make it as fairly imminently as possible once a conclusion have been reached and I will obviously update everyone, or the Minister for Enterprise [Laurence Skelly] will update when we can release that information.’

Mr Quayle added that there a ‘number of options from cancelling it to moving it’ but that the government also had to factor in the racing schedule elsewhere in the world, whether teams will be able to compete and if accommodation providers and the Steam Packet could ensue the event could be held.

We are well prepared for this outcome and have discussed at length many contingency options and well verse to ensuring that all our guest are well looked after.

Like ourselves the Isle of Man Steam-Packet Company have tried to ensure that the transfer process of changing to alternative date is a smooth as possible and I’m confident that we have achieved this.

We are incredibly flexible with dates and priority would be ensuring that you travel is arranged.

In the event that the Isle of Man TT 2021 is postponed to later in the year 2021and you have already booked with the Isle of Man Steam Packet please arrange your travel first.

We will happily transfer your booking to later in 2021 or transfer your entire booking to the Isle of Man TT 2022 in May/June.

We will also look after you entire accommodation transfer process also and we will send you a revised booking confirmation thus ensuring that the process is as quick and easy as possible and pain free.

In the interim if you have any questions then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Please take care and have a safe and happy Christmas

Best wishes

Your Isle of Man Camping and Glamping Team

  • Q: When are the Isle of Man TT Races scheduled for 2026, 2027, and 2028?

    A: The Isle of Man TT Races are a two-week event, running from a Monday (Qualifying Week start) to a Saturday (Senior Race Day).

    The confirmed and provisional dates are as follows:

    Event YearStart Date End Date Status
    TT 2026Monday, May 25th, 2026Saturday, June 6th, 2026Confirmed

    TT 2028Monday, May 29th, 2028Saturday, June 10th, 2028Provisional

  • Q: When can I book for the Isle of Man TT 2027 and TT 2028

    A: Bookings for the Isle of Man TT 2027 and TT 2028 will be available from May 2026 and May 2027

  • Q: When is the best time to book my accommodation and travel for the TT?

    A: The Isle of Man TT is an extremely high-demand event. Ferry spaces (especially with a vehicle/motorcycle), flights, and quality accommodation (including hotels and popular campsites) often sell out immediately when they are released.

    If you delay, your options will be significantly limited, and prices will be much higher.

  • Q: How do the TT road closures affect getting around the island?

    A: The 37.73-mile Mountain Course is a public road that closes completely for all practices and races.

    Best Options: Use the excellent public transport network (Bus Vannin and the Heritage Railways), which continues to operate outside the course, or plan your entire day around the official road closure schedule, which is published daily. Always check the latest schedule as it is subject to change due to weather.

    Crucial Tip: If your accommodation is inside the closed course, you cannot leave or return until the roads officially reopen (which can be late at night).

  • Q. Do I need to buy a ticket to watch the TT Races?

    A: No, not for most places! The majority of the 37.73-mile course is public road, and you can watch for free from hundreds of roadside vantage points.

    Safety Note: Always obey the instructions of the volunteer marshals and only watch from designated safe spectator areas (marked by fencing or signage).

    Tickets are only required if you want a reserved seat in the Official Grandstands (at the start/finish line in Douglas) or for VIP Hospitality areas.
