Islanders on Bryher, one of the Isles of Scilly, are preparing to see in 2021 with chilli and bingo at Fraggle Rock, the stone inn on the island’s rugged northern tip, in what was set to be one of the most ‘normal’ New Year get-togethers in Britain.
The only significant differences from other years was that guests are instructed to sit with their families and not to mix, it will be table service only, and they have to leave by 11pm, so cannot not actually celebrate the turning of the year inside the pub.
