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.
For more information and official Government guidelines at this time, tap here.
Walk down an Isle of Wight high street at night and hear music spilling out of the pubs and bars. Local musicians perform at various locations across the Island every night and span a huge range of genres, from dulcet folk to heavy metal. A music event is the perfect place to meet with friends and enjoy a drink - make sure you try out some of the Island’s local beers!
With so many high quality restaurants, eating out is one of the most popular things to do on the Isle of Wight. Enjoy a slap up meal at a traditional pub, or book a romantic table for two at a fine dining restaurant. Look out over the sea and watch the boat lights blink in the night, or make your way to the centre of town and feel the buzz of the town.
If you fancy getting involved in some local entertainment, visit one of the venues which host open mic nights. Some pubs and theatres also host comedy nights so you can test out your best jokes!
The Isle of Wight is also making a name for itself as the carnival capital of the UK! The Island hosts some of the oldest carnivals around, including one that began in celebration of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. Thousands of people turn out to see the carnivals and the illuminated carnivals at night are some of the most popular.
The Island hosts a range of firework displays and bonfires marking the beginning and end of various festivals and celebrations. Keep an eye on our events page to make sure you don’t miss the dates!
