getting
there
all aboard the ferry
Whether you decide to travel primarily by train or by car you're always going to need to contend with getting a ferry across to the island!
You can set sail to the Island from 3 different places:
1. Lymington.
Lymington has a vehicle and foot passenger ferry run by Wight Link that arrives into Yarmouth. (This is the one we usually get as Yarmouth is closest to Brook).
2. Portsmouth.
Portsmouth has 3 ferry options:
1. A Wight Link vehicle and foot passenger ferry that arrives into Fishbourne.
2. A Wight Link foot passenger only ferry that arrives into Ryde.
3. There is also a Hovercraft... if you head further into Portsmouth, to Southsea you can get the hovercraft that arrives into Ryde. (Only 10 minutes - foot passenger only).
3. Southampton.
Southampton has 2 ferry options both run by Red Funnel:
1. A vehicle and foot passenger ferry run that arrives into East Cowes.
2. The Red Jet - a high speed (foot passenger only) ferry that arrives into West Cowes.
Discounts
Ask your accommodation if the can give you a discount code for the ferry as lots of them do! (If you are staying at Compton Farm Campsite, they definitely will give you a discount code). Also if you are an English Heritage member you can get a discount on Red Funnel ferries (check out your membership perks for the code) whilst AA Members can get a discount on the Wightlink Ferries (again check your membership perks).

The wedding is going to take place at:
