We’re delighted to once again be able to share the beautiful Isle of Wight with you, our visitors.
Before planning your Island escape now or in the future, please read the latest Government guidelines in regards to COVID-19 and put your own health and wellness, and that of those around you first.
See our Good to Go Directory for new measures and processes in place at your favourite hotel, restaurant, attraction and more across the Island.
Welcome back! The Isle of Wight is Good to Go.
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!
