Isle of Wight Festival 2023 is just around the corner.

There are now just five days to go until the tens of thousands of revellers descend on Seaclose Park, Newport.

They'll be hoping to catch their favourite artists - including Robbie Williams, The Chemical Brothers, and Niall Horan, to name a few!

For some, it may be their first time to the event, while, for others, it may be a return visit.

Either way, we're sure the packing has well and truly begun!

Festival organisers have put together a handy list of items which are prohibited from entering the site.

This includes the following:

  • Glass
  • Candles
  • Gas canisters larger than 300g
  • Smoke canisters
  • Knives
  • Illegal substances
  • Legal Highs

Organisers say beyond that, you can bring what you like.

They are reminding us to reduce plastic waste where possible, however.

There will be plenty of water points around the site, so we're encouraged to bring empty refillable drinks bottles that you can fill up.
