The Isle of Wight Festival remains the Island's largest annual event and one of the UK's best-known music festivals. It returns to Seaclose Park in Newport for four days of live music, camping, food, bars, traders and festival areas across the site.
The draw is much bigger than the main stage. Festivalgoers can expect multiple performance areas, campsite life, food courts, bars, independent traders and dedicated family entertainment in Kidzone. It is the heavyweight music event in the Isle of Wight calendar, so ferry crossings, accommodation and local transport need planning well ahead.
The event is fundamentally outdoors, even with covered areas around the site, so campers should prepare for sun, rain and wind. The festival's care and safety information lists animals and pets as not permitted, with approved assistance dogs allowed, so ordinary pet dogs should be left at home.
