The Isle of Wight is one of the UK’s most beautiful regions with stunning coastlines, cliffs and idyllic countryside. The island has always been a source of inspiration, from Dickens and Lewis Caroll to musicians and bands from all over the world, who have appeared at the famous Isle of Wight Festival. Family resorts such as Shanklin or Ventnor are perfect resorts for youth groups and visiting performers are always made to feel welcome.
