World Pilot Gig Championships

Troytown Campsite on the island of St Agnes is one of the most beautiful locations in Scilly and a great place to stay for the Gig World Championships. On the campsite you will be among other rowers and enthusiasts, enjoying the action and having a relaxing holiday in a unique setting. St Agnes is the perfect place to relax and unwind. If you love the outdoors and adventure, this island has a rugged, natural landscape to explore. The clear waters are perfect for snorkelling, kayaking, fishing and swimming, and the beaches have beautiful white sand and are great for rock-pooling or just sitting and watching the ocean. Why not stay on for a few days and make a holiday of it?

St Agnes boasts a fantastic pub - the Turks Head - a great place to meet, eat, drink, celebrate, commiserate and rest aching muscles after a days racing. Boats run frequently between the islands, connecting you with all the action and entertainment on St Marys.

We welcome group / club / crew or individual bookings. Children and non-rowers are also welcome. To make a booking with us, please get in touch by email, via our website, by phone or by post. You can download a booking form or flyer using the links below:

Please note that there is an extensive boat service between St Marys and St Agnes during the gig weekend for rowers and spectators to ensure you don't miss the action. There are late evening boats returning to St Agnes at around 9:30pm on the Sunday evening. This doesn't mean that the fun stops there... you will find the pub on St Agnes is a great place to end your Gig weekend! The full boat timetable can be found via our links page.

We start taking bookings in October for the following year. For Gig Weekend we require the full booking fee in advance to secure the booking.
