Dwaynne2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Hi guys this is my first festival in 7 years and I will be going solo and I am feeling a bit nervous. I was wondering what the atmosphere is like at the festival and in the campsite areas. I'm hoping I will meet up with some people whilst there but I do get nervous Also 2 quick questions. 1- Is there a restriction to tent size as the tent I have is a 3 man walk in tent for myself, wondering whether it would be best to get something smaller. 2- Is there trolleys or something to hire to get my things from the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnabylike Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Nice one mate, best way to do a festival is on your own. Isle of wight is one of the friendliest festivals out there so it shouldn’t be too hard to meet decent people there. The atmosphere is really chilled and just shear happiness from everyone You'll be fine with a 3 man tent, they only really care if one person has like an 8 man tent Last yeah there were people you could hire from the car park to take your gear into the campsite, they were called little green Sherpas or something like that, they were all doing it for charity. They were around about £30 to hire Have an awesome time, Isle of Wight truly is a special festival :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwaynne2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Thank you both for your advice, I am nervous but definitely looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquelineS Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 I went last year on my own from Canada. And I am old. It's a great festival, fairly easy to navigate etc. My advice is take the coach. I took the coach from Victoria station last year and it was great. I recommend catching the earliest one available.

FestivalNewbie1234 Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Hi, Can I ask if you went on your own in the end? If so, how did you find it? I'm considering doing it this year - none of my friends are festival people so no one is willing to pay the price but I'm thinking why should that stop me, and I'll just go on my own instead! Or is it weird and I'll just be lonely haha Thanks for any advice 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmarks Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Most peope are more than happy to chat and stuff. Guess it depends how comfortable you are chatting to strangers and just going with the flow. It doesnt bother me but i will chat to anyone especially when drunk and am happy to see bands etc by myself any time. Its a very friendly place with the added bonus you can walk / get bus to Newport if you want a bit of an escape . Go for it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you don't have to camp with them and can drop in and out with folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
