The best time to visit The Docks is between May and September, when the weather is generally warmer and there's less rain, making it ideal for exploring outdoors.

You'll find many events and festivals happening during this period, adding to the atmosphere. However, it's also the busiest time, so expect more people and potentially higher prices for accommodation and flights.

For those who prefer a slightly quieter experience with pleasant weather, late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September) are excellent choices. The temperatures are still comfortable for sightseeing, and the crowds are generally smaller than during the peak summer weeks.
