Setting out our stall in Isle of Wight Festival's Penny Lane Joel Corry, Maximo Park, Hot Tub Time Machine and Elvana kick off the Sky Presents Isle of Wight Festival 2026, tonight (Thursday), at Seaclose Park. Meanwhile, members of Mountbatten Isle of Wight's fundraising team have been busy setting up our stall, jam packed with sunflower merch in aid of the Island's hospice. Find it in Penny Lane (near the Intoxicated Tea Rooms), for sunflower headbands, crochet tops, and our hugely popular umbrellas/sunbrellas (basically they're the same thing but it depends on the weather!). We can wait to see you and to say hello! Below, from left, Charlotte, Lauretta, Harri and Ella, who will be joined by a host of volunteers over the next few days.
