The Isle of Wight is only 2 hours from London (for example) and really couldn't be easier to get to.  There are hundreds of ferry crossings to the Isle of Wight each and every day (& night!) and these ferry routes connect easily with road and rail in Portsmouth, Southampton and Lymington.

Please either download and print our 2006 Information Sheet - click here to download - or read the other articles in the Practical Info section carefully for detailed instructions on how to get to the Isle of Wight and then how to find to Bestival once you get there.

Also, why not get involved in our Car Sharing scheme and help save the environment from that extra pollution & yourselves some money in the process.  Head over to www.liftshare.org/default.asp?sub=645 for more info & to sign up.
