APP SECTIONS INFO....
- Things to Do -
Large and small attractions, venues, parks and activities.
- Shopping and Treats -
- antiques - vintage and retro - book shops - health and beauty - ladies and men's fashion - specialist hobby shops such as arts n crafts - sports and fitness - gaming and any other interesting, quirky, independent retailers -
- Food and Drink -
We're not trip advisor so you wont be shown with 40 other places and the same number of filters. We aim to just provide a selected number of great food n drink venues ( capped at 7 choices for a larger town, 1 or 2 in villages ) in any given area. Sunday Club encourages people to try somewhere new for their weekly roast.
- Accommodation -
Good for hotels that are totally open to non residents and holiday parks, touring and campsites. Many repeat visitors (the island has lots) will visit to check out places for next time. They'll also be staying at different locations on the island if touring / camping.
- Weather and Tides -
Seven day forecast and daily weather by the hours and tide tables for that day. Nice option for a 'rainy day attraction' to sponsor this page...talk to us.
- What's On -
Even if you live here there's no obvious place to look and those here for just a week wont have signed up to the local social media groups. If you host events add them free via the website or the app.
- Need A Taxi ? -
A handy guide for residents out of their usual area and of course for visitors who wont know any island firms. Sorted by area in which that taxi firm is based or usually has most cars.
- Takeaway Tonight ? -
A handy guide for residents out of their usual area and of course for visitors who wont know any island takeaways. Sorted by area with contact details and whether they deliver. Usually one per food type per area.
- Sunday Club -
A subsection of food n drink - just venues that offer a Sunday Roast menu so why not try somewhere different?
