Royal Agricultural Show

Wight Locations, County Show

The annual Isle of Wight agricultural show returns to the Show ground between Newport and Cowes this year on Sunday 25th June.

The ‘County Show’ as its more commonly known is a popular event on the island with locals due to the large rural and agricultural community on the Island.

The show is fantastic fun for families and there’s always plenty going on in the main arena area, where visitors are invited to get hands on and ‘come and have a go’.

Magic at the Needles

Wight Locations, The Needles

Possibly the most famous landmark associated with the Isle of Wight, is the Needles at Alum Bay. This famous landmark is best viewed from the Needles Park at the top of the cliff at Alum Bay.

The Park is a popular destination for young families as there’s lots to entertain the little ones, from crazy Golf to a 4D Cinema experience and of course the legendary chairlift down to the coloured sand on the beach.
