Drivers are experiencing severe traffic delays on the roads around a popular Isle of Wight attraction tonight (Thursday October 31).

Southern Vectis reported traffic at a standstill around the site and has diverted Route 8 bus services along Blackwater Road.

The County Press has heard reports of people stuck in traffic for around an hour.

Robin Hill Country Park is the venue of a Halloween party tonight.

The event is organised by AfterDark.

The country park has experienced traffic problems before, with a car boot sale at the site causing delays this summer.

The event's popularity caused traffic to converge around the site.

Organisers moved the subsequent car boot event to the upper car park and stationed more marshals at the site.

Update (8.13pm): Southern Vectis has said Route 8 services will return to their normal route and serve Robin Hill.

Update (8.35pm): Jennifer Stone, who was in traffic for the event, commented on Facebook: "Sat in traffic for over an hour then no place to park and nobody directing traffic.

"It was a shambles, it wasn't a Robin Hill run event, after an hour and a half trying to get in we gave up and went home."
