Your Complete Guide to Booking the Isle of Man Classic TT and MGP – Travel & Premier Glamping
Planning your trip for the legendary Isle of Man Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix (MGP) starts with two key decisions: how you will get to the island, and where you will stay. We’ve compiled the essential information you need to secure your unforgettable trip to the world’s most spectacular road racing festival.
Getting to the Isle of Man for the Classic TT and MGP is straightforward, with options available whether you prefer to travel by air or by sea. Remember, these are the busiest weeks on the island, so booking your travel as early as possible is non-negotiable to secure the best rates and schedules. Travel by Ferry: For many fans, bringing their own car or motorbike via ferry is the only way to travel, allowing maximum freedom once you arrive. The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company operates services connecting the island with the UK and Ireland via the following routes: Liverpool (the most popular route), Heysham (a key port on the northwest coast of England), and limited sailings from Ireland (Belfast & Dublin), which typically sell out exceptionally fast. Travel by Air: Flying is the quickest and most convenient option, perfect if you are short on time. The island’s airport, Ronaldsway (IOM), connects directly with several UK and Irish airports, with flight times often under an hour. Direct flights are typically available from London (various airports), Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Belfast, Dublin, and Edinburgh.
Accommodation during the race festival is highly sought after, but for guests seeking a comfortable, stress-free, trackside stay, Glamping is available for both the Isle of Man Classic TT and MGP at the exclusive Governors Bridge site. Anyone wishing to book Glamping accommodation can do so directly via Dukebookings.com.
