  • The 3-day festival will take place on 17th-19th of August in the grounds of Northwood House, Cowes as well as inside the grade II* listed Georgian manor house.
  • Tickets will go on sale in February and are expected to sell out fast, so early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
  • Picnic hampers containing delicious IOW produce will be available to pre-order when purchasing tickets.
