Getting to the Isle of Wight Festival
There are four mainland ferry ports at Southampton, Portsmouth, lymington, or Southsea, with Red Funnel, Wightlink, Hovertravel, and Fluid.taxi all offering different routes to the island.
These ports are all served by rail and road links.
Festival-goers can take their cars across from the mainland, though this will take longer, with Red Funnel and Wightlink operating three services between them.
From Wednesday morning until Monday afternoon, there will be a one-way system introduced on the island for festival-bound traffic.
The system will operate along Fairlee Road, and traffic from Newport will be directed up Staplers Road, but residents are being warned to expect delays.
