Getting to the Isle of Wight
The Isle of Wight is easy to reach from the south coast of England — a short, scenic ferry crossing away.
From Portsmouth
Wightlink Fastcat to Ryde Pier Head — 22 minutes
Hovertravel to Ryde Esplanade — 10 minutes
Both services run frequently and are very close to the venue.
From Southampton
Red Funnel car ferry to East Cowes — 55 minutes
Ideal if travelling by car. From East Cowes, take a bus or taxi to Ryde (~30–40 min).
From Lymington
Wightlink Car Ferry to Yarmouth — 40 minutes
Convenient for players from the New Forest area. Ryde is ~50 min by bus from Yarmouth.
Tip: Book your ferry crossings in advance, especially if travelling with a car — the Island gets busy during tournament week.
