A new idea is being explored for Autumn 2026: a festival celebrating the pubs of the Isle of Wight. Rather than a single large event, the proposal is for a series of weekends, each focusing on different towns or areas of the Island.
Participating pubs would be invited to offer something special. The obvious choice would be a beer festival, but it could just as easily be a cider festival, a weekend of folk music or a vintage car rally. The aim is to highlight the variety and character of our local pubs and support landlords and brewers.
The concept is still in development, but interest is growing. If you run a pub and would like to be involved, or if you have ideas to contribute, please get in touch or fill in the questionnaire.
A list of participating venues is already beginning to take shape.
Further details will follow in future editions of Wightwash and on this website.
