Hovertravel Adds Late Sunday Crossings for Isle of Wight Festival Weekend
Hovertravel has announced the addition of new late Sunday evening flights to its timetable for the Isle of Wight Festival weekend.
For the first time ever, festival-goers can enjoy extended service on Sunday 21st June, with three additional return crossings from Ryde back to Southsea in Portsmouth:
- 22:45 – ex Ryde
- 23:15 – ex Ryde
- 23:45 – ex Ryde
These extra flights mean that festival attendees heading back to the mainland can now stay later and still catch the quickest way home after the final acts, with each hovercraft crossing taking just ten minutes between Ryde and Southsea.
Loretta Lale, Head of Marketing at Hovertravel, said: “We’ve listened closely to our customers, and it was clear that many wanted the option to return to the mainland later on Sunday night after the festival. These new late flights are an exciting first for Hovertravel and give festival-goers more flexibility, convenience and peace of mind for their journey home.”
The Isle of Wight Festival is one of the UK’s most iconic live music events, drawing thousands of music fans to the Island each summer. Hovertravel’s extended Sunday service supports this surge in demand and further enhances the travel experience for those attending the festival.
Tickets for the late flights can be booked via the Hovertravel website. Early booking is recommended, as services are expected to be popular.
