Nowhere in Britain hosts events quite like the Isle of Wight. With over 1000 local, National and International festivals and events each year - the Island is the place to be seen, to compete and to party - making it an ideal location for a short break holiday!
We have listed below dates and information links for many of the leading events being staged this year. Whilst The West Bay Club endeavours to keep this listing as up to date as possible, please note that information can change (for example the dates of town carnivals listed) and it is therefore worth checking for latest information on the Island's tourist authority website. Latest carnival information can also be established from frankie.goldspink@iow.gov.uk or from www.thecarnivalcentre.org
