Each year the Isle of Wight Festival brings together 55,000 free spirited festival goers, in a simply beautiful setting. It is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive and well-loved festivals on the calendar and the three UK Festival Awards for 'Best Major UK Festival', 'Outstanding Greener Festival' and 'Outstanding Contribution to Festivals' (awarded to John Giddings) is proof of just that).
