We look forward to sharing the Isle of Wight with you once again in the near future, whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to your favourite home from home. In the meantime we ask that you please continue to follow Government guidelines and stay home, keeping happy and healthy, and helping to bring the date we can say “Welcome to the Island” ever closer.
Right now is the time to plan for when you can, to feel inspired and excited by everything there is to look forward to in the months ahead. We stay home now, so that we can all be together under the sun later. We’ll see you by the sea, when the time is right.

From the buds of early spring, to the cool nights of winter, the Isle of Wight has plenty to offer whenever you visit. You can explore the Island and its many attractions during the busy summer periods, or wait till the Island’s trees change colour from green to brown and discover a new side to the Isle of Wight during the autumn and winter.
Many attractions are open all year round, and with plenty of great events taking place from January to December too – meaning you won’t be short of things to do. Most restaurants, bars and takeaways are also open throughout the year making it so easy to find a great place to eat during your stay.
