Through the months of summer, for the amusement and entertainment of ourselves and our guests, the Isle of Wight last year staged over twenty carnivals in towns and villages around the island. Details of this coming year's other carnivals can be found elsewhere on this site. The carnival season culminates with what we like to think of as the Ultimate Isle of Wight Carnival at Ryde, featuring over 2,000 performers from carnival clubs around the Isle of Wight . This is a sensory feast of sound, with musical influences from Rio Samba, Trinidad Steel Pan and Local bands. Movement in fabulous costumes with influences from Trinidad, Rio, Notting Hill, Venice, English Masquerade and Mardi Gras. Colour an experience like no other! Where, for a few hours, we can all forget who we are and what we do - and just party!

The Isle of Wight is a holidaymaker's dream, a jewel shimmering in the seas just south of England, a little bit of Heaven which can be easily attained, by simply stepping onto a ferry at one of the mainland ports of Portsmouth, Southampton or Lymington.
