The Isle of Wight is arguably the smallest ceremonial county in England, but it packs a punch for scenery and events. Whatever you are looking for this intriguing island seems to provide! Events on the Isle of Wight include such delights as Music Festivals, Walking Festivals, Cycling Festivals and the list goes on and on.
Newport is the capital. Cowes is the centre of sailing, arguably in the United Kingdom and the world, Ryde is a sandy seaside resort and an entrance for the ferries from Portsmouth. Sandown and Shanklin have two of the prettiest beaches. Ventnor is a joy, if hilly. Places worth visiting are aplenty, some lovely hideaways not mentioned here!

Anyone with events in Hampshire who would like to list their event here please contact us via the Feedback form, we would love to hear from you. The event should have its own website so that our visitors can find you and obtain more information.
Those events should be capable of attracting crowds, large village fete size and above, similar to those listed here.
Our observations show that www.travelwessex.com's main visitors are those that love walking, cycling, horse riding and other like minded pursuits, but we welcome all attractions as we have many other visitors as well that we love to cater for. Posting events on this page is free.
