There are several ways you can get to the Isle of Wight.  For a quick trip across, we highly recommend taking the train to Portsmouth Harbour and then jumping on the FastCat over to Ryde Pier Head; Seaview is then just a short taxi away making the whole journey from London-Seaview around 2.5 hours.

If that doesn’t suit, there are various passenger-only or car ferry options from Southampton, Portsmouth, Southsea & Lymington – so please read through the below options and check which best suits your needs / location.

We highly recommend using local taxi services to get from the church to the reception – please book these in advance, see numbers below.  Taxis will stop at the entrance to the fields so please think about suitable footwear to walk to the marquee.

If that doesn’t suit, at the church, there is limited street parking available on the surrounding streets and there are further spaces available in a car park located 3 minutes walk away on Pier Road.  At the reception, parking is being provided in an adjacent field to the marquee and as such, you will be required to walk from your car (or taxi drop off point) to the marquee so please think about suitable shoes.
