Union Mills

Union Mills offers classic TT village viewing, with bikes flowing through at speed in a relaxed, friendly setting. It’s a great option if you want to combine racing with local atmosphere, food and drink.

TT Grandstand
Distance from Braddan Glamping: approx. 10–15 minutes by bus or on foot
The TT Grandstand on Glencrutchery Road is the heart of the event. From here, you’ll experience the build-up before the start, pit-lane action, rider interviews and the drama of the finish line.
Even without a grandstand ticket, there are excellent free viewing areas nearby, along with easy access to food stalls, merchandise and TT displays. It’s well worth visiting at least once during your stay.
Best for soaking up the full TT atmosphere.
Hillberry
Distance from Braddan Glamping: approx. 15 minutes by car or motorbike
Hillberry delivers one of the most intense spectator experiences on the course. Riders pass at extreme speed, close to the roadside, making the power and pace of the TT feel incredibly real.
Arrive early to secure a good viewing spot, or choose a nearby ticketed area if you prefer a more structured setup. This is TT viewing at its most visceral.
Perfect if you want to feel the speed, noise and adrenaline up close.
