Isle of Wight Festival

The Isle of Wight Festival is a major UK music festival held annually at Seaclose Park, Newport, on the Isle of Wight. It has a long history, first emerging in the late 1960s, then revived in the early 2000s, and has become one of the major festivals in the summer calendar.

The festival features a mix of big-name headline artists and up-and-coming acts across multiple stages.

You’ll get music, big production, crowd energy, with lots of food & drink stalls, bars, and the typical festival atmosphere.

There are accessibility features (raised viewing platforms, accessible toilets, sensory calm zones) to help people who need them.

Getting to the festival involves a ferry crossing from ports such as Southampton or Portsmouth, followed by onward transportation to the festival site. There are coach / travel-package options that include ferry + transport to ease the journey.
