Caldey Island has brought its 2026 visitor season to an early close, following what it has described as a record-breaking season.
The island announced on Wednesday, 30th September that it would close for the remainder of the 2026 season, with the weather forecast for October expected to be particularly challenging.
It brings an earlier-than-usual end to a memorable season for the island. During July and August, Caldey was open for 64 days in a row, which the island says is the longest consecutive run in its history.
In its announcement, Caldey Island thanked everyone who visited this season, including day visitors and retreat guests, as well as those who supported the island through its online shop or followed its journey online.
Although the 2026 visitor season has now come to an end, Caldey Island plans to continue sharing updates about island life throughout the winter, along with new social media content.
The island thanked everyone for a “wonderful season” and said it looks forward to welcoming visitors back in 2027.
