Bank holiday weekends bring visitors to Sheppey's beaches and holiday parks, and plenty of locals head off the island too. A little planning goes a long way.
What changes on a bank holiday
- Roads to Leysdown, Minster and the seafronts get busy, especially if the weather is good
- The A249 and the Sheppey Crossing can queue on Friday afternoons and Monday evenings
- Buses and trains often run a reduced or Sunday timetable
- Taxi demand peaks in the evenings and late at night
Tips for a smoother trip
- Book early for airport runs and evenings out
- Travel earlier in the morning if you're heading to the coast
- Check train times before you set off: Sunday timetables are common
- Going out in a group? Ask about our 8-seater minibus
