Isle of wight First time

[rmartin1803]

Hey folks was lucky enough to win 2 tickets to the festival so me and a mate are heading down all the way from Glasgow !

Been to Glastonbury the last 2 years and hope this fills the void a bit lol

Whats the best way to get to the island ?

And any hints and tips for the festival

Thanks :-)

Congratulations for winning ? depends how you'e getting down would depend on how to best get across.   If you'e coming by car you need to check availability for the car ferries (Wightlink or Red funnel) mind they'e not cheap!  If coming by foot the catamaran from Portsmouth to Ryde only takes about 20 mins and is under £30. You can then grab a festival bus to the site which is about £6.  

Saturday there is a gold theme and seems a lot of people are joining in if that's your thing. 

The app and map should be released in the next few days so worth checking out to see the line up and times. No glass in the campsite but you can bring whatever alcohol you wish, but standard rules you can't take it through to the arena. Newport is only about a 20 min walk away so can grab supplies or go for brekkie easily. 

I've always found everyone to be fun and friendly so hope you have the best time ?

First time as well.  I will be taking the Big Green Coach from Victoria Station. It goes on the ferry and right to the Festival. So it.s all good!
