Autumn has arrived on the Isle of Wight, and October is packed with exciting events for locals and visitors alike.

Isle of Wight-based writer, publisher, and community arts leader Lottie Begg is joining the Young Poet Laureate programme 2025.

The programme, launched this year, awarded £20,000 in grants to athletes and clubs nationwide.

A famous replica of one of history’s most significant ships will be docking at Yarmouth Pier this week as part of its European tour.
