How does the membership work?
When you join as a Member of Steep Holm Island, you pay an annual fee of £25. This helps to support the conservation and upkeep of the island. Your membership includes a discounted trip to Steep Holm. We’ll also keep you updated with news and events about the island throughout your membership.
How do I book my trip?
Once you become a Member, you will receive instructions on how to book your discounted visit. Trips are subject to availability and weather conditions, so we recommend booking early to secure your preferred date.
