Mount Closure

On Monday 15th of April, the castle will be closed. The Harbour Loft, Steward’s House Art Gallery, Café, Island Shop, Mount Shop, Visitor Centre and facilities will remain open.

The high winds mean that public safety around the castle may be compromised and so the castle on St Michael’s Mount cannot open today (15/04/2024). Your safety is our priority, and we must take steps to mitigate any risks. 

Castle tickets will be refunded in full and we expect monies to be returned to the accounts from which payments were made within 5-7 business days. If you have already booked your castle tickets, you do not have to do anything, as you will be automatically refunded and you should see the monies in your bank in 5-7 working days.

We are a tidal island that is governed by the forces of nature and sometimes those elements work against us. Bad weather conditions mean that public safety on the boats may be compromised and as your safety is our priority, we must take steps to mitigate any risks.

We know that this will be very disappointing for those of you who have been looking forward to visiting St Michael’s Mount. Please keep an eye on our social media and on the website for bad weather/poor sea state updates for the coming days. We hope to be able to welcome you onto the island again one day soon.

Warmest wishes,

The St Michael’s Mount team
