Tide windows

I must be exact about the crossing, because the tide alone decides when anyone may reach the island.

  1. The island is reached on foot, over a tidal causeway 1.2 km long.
  2. The causeway is open for arrivals from 09:40 to 13:10, and for departures from 22:15 to 01:30.
  3. Nobody crosses outside those windows; the harbour boat is for emergencies only.
  4. The last set ends at 21:45, so that everyone reaches the causeway in time.
  5. These are that day's tide times, and they apply to everyone on the island without exception.

Cup, card and boots

Cup
No single-use plastic is allowed on the island, so I ask everyone to bring a cup of their own.

£6an enamel cup, if you have none

Food
Food comes from two island kitchens, and I can confirm that both take cash and card.

Boots
I would wear boots, because parts of the causeway are wet sand and seaweed.

The Skerrow Island Trust

The festival is organised by the Skerrow Island Trust, a volunteer charity, and its profits go to repairing the sea wall.

This is the fourth year of Causeway, which was first held in 2024.
