Going to Isle of Wight Festival? Leave the car at home and take the bus

Southern Vectis is making it easier than ever for anyone wishing to visit the Isle of Wight Festival.

The operator is laying on shuttle buses throughout the event – allowing festival-goers to travel on buses directly between the site and special stops at Newport, Ryde, Cowes, East Cowes and Yarmouth.

Shuttle services start on Thursday
Matt Kitchin, Southern Vectis general manager, said,

“We will be running services from early in the morning of Thursday 9 June at regular intervals until the afternoon of Monday 13 June.

“Thousands of visitors are expected to enjoy the music on offer over the course of this year’s Festival – and our team is looking forward to making sure everyone is able to make their way here and back quickly and in comfort.

“We’ve been working closely with Festival organisers to encourage people to leave their cars behind and enjoy the opportunity to immerse themselves in the magical atmosphere here – without having to worry about how they were getting home.”

Head to the Festival bus station
After each night there will be frequent shuttle services from the Festival bus station to destinations across the Island – including all main towns.

Buses will depart the Festival bus station at regular intervals until the early hours of each morning.
