- Glamping
Every June the Isle of Wight Festival turns Seaclose Park and the fields along the River Medina on the edge of Newport into a 180-acre campsite. Camping is included with a weekend ticket: you follow the arches in, choose one of the colour-named fields and pitch where you like, with toilets, drinking water, showers, food stalls and bars across the site.
For a calmer stay there are free-to-reserve Family and 'Respect' fields (take-your-tent-home areas), a paid Love Your Tent field with its own café, hot showers and pamper area, and a campervan field. Pink Moon runs several boutique areas of pre-pitched bell tents, tipis and yurts, and Under the Stars offers luxury camping behind the main stage with VIP tickets.
