Events.OnTheWight.com Launches: Isle of Wight Events All In One Place

People often say that nothing happens on the Isle of Wight but having run VentnorBlog for the past four years, we know this is far from true – so we’ve setup the Events On The Wight Website to let you all know what’s going on on the Island (and incidentally prove these nay-sayers wrong).

Events.OnTheWight.com LaunchesCrammed full of Island-wide events from Art exhibitions to Zumbatomics (that’s aerobics to salsa type music to uninitiated), we hope that the uncluttered, easy-to-use site gives you many ways to find an event – whether it be by the day, venue or type of activity.

Bringing together all of the experiences we’ve gathered from running VentnorBlog, we’ve worked alongside Birmingham Web developer and all-round super hero Joshua Hart to build what some have compared to London’s TimeOut for the Island.

It’s been a great example of Hyperlocal sites over the UK working together – there’ll be more on that in a piece later today.

Free to use … and Free to list
If you live on the Island or are planning a visit, we hope that it will become an essential tool to make the most out of the Island.

Best of all it’s Free to use … and Free to list.

If you know of events coming up, just drop us a line and we’ll add them to the site.

Supportive comments
Here are a few comments we’ve had from people who have been Beta testing it.
