For those on the mainland, getting to the festival means getting to the island first.
For many, that means a ferry crossing from Portsmouth, with Wightlink’s FastCat service taking around 20 minutes to Ryde.
Red Funnel also operates crossings from Southampton, while Wightlink’s car ferry runs from Lymington to Yarmouth in about 40 minutes.
Hovertravel also offers a 10-minute hovercraft crossing from Southsea to Ryde.
All operators run services throughout the festival weekend, and booking in advance is strongly advised, particularly for the Thursday and Sunday crossings.
For foot passengers, the Portsmouth to Fishbourne car ferry is not recommended as there is no onward transport from Fishbourne to the festival site.
Once on the island, bus services run to the festival site from both Ryde and Yarmouth, and festival shuttle buses operate directly from the ferry ports throughout the weekend.
Drivers should be aware that on-site parking is limited and fills quickly.
