Attractions, Events & How-to..

For travel to/from our wonderful Island, our principal club sponsor, Red Funnel, operates the Southampton-Cowes routes (both car and passenger ferries).  And once on the Island, Southern Vectis buses will take you everywhere (well, almost).  

What to do?  Start by clicking into Visit Isle of Wight which offers a full calendar of events.  And also check out the events listings held by On the Wight, perhaps the Island’s leading online news service (based coincidentally here in Ventnor!).

Highlights? Osborne House (Queen Victoria’s favourite residence), Carisbrooke Castle, the wonders of Godshill, Shanklin Old Village, Shanklin Chine and Blackgang Chine – all speak for themselves.  Other favourites for many are our sponsor, the Isle of Wight Steam Railway @ Havenstreet and  the Donkey Sanctuary, nearby at Wroxall.

While you’re here… Eating out, try one of our sponsors, The White Lion at nearby Niton.  The owners also run The Birdham @ Bembridge and The Chequers @ Rookley.  Or sample the delights of another sponsor, Fisherman’s Cottage at nearby Shanklin.  You can also relax in a yoga class with our sponsors, Hummingbee.  Or enjoy some ‘retail therapy’ at our sponsors, Honeybourne Jewellery while exploring the many quirky delights of our home town, Ventnor.  

And when you have to leave? Stock up on your way back to the ferry at another sponsor, Briddlesford Farm Shop.
