This August Bank Holiday, scores of scooterists will once again take over the Island in a spectacle like no other!
What's On
Those with a love of Lambrettas and vintage Vespas will want to visit this August Bank Holiday, when scores of scooterists take to the Island roads for the Isle of Wight International Scooter Rally.
At the centre of the event, Ryde town plays homage to the era of the scooter with decorations and music, with many scooterists decked out in iconic 60’s dress. With Sandown as a base camp for all scooterists to meet and celebrate the rally.
Ryde seafront is the place to be on the Sunday of the event, where the scooters assemble ahead of their traditional ride-out and can be seen on full display, some featuring all manner of modifications!
