The seasonal winter schedule, running Friday to Sunday from Nov 01 to Apr 30, narrows visiting days in the colder months. The daily 10:00-17:00 hours in the main season give a full day's window for a visit. The museum closes on Dec 24-26, Dec 31 and Jan 01.
Island life centres on harbours, lifeboat stations and the RNLI, with regattas and fetes in summer. Seafood is central to island food: crab, lobster, scallops, mackerel and oysters landed by small boats. English is the main language, so communication is straightforward for most visitors. Summer brings long daylight hours and crowded ferries; winter sailings are often cancelled by weather.
