BIOSPHERE FESTIVAL
28th June - 6th July 2025
What is the
Biosphere Festival?
The Isle of Wight Biosphere Festival returns in 2025 even bigger and better. Nine days of free or low cost events all over the Island to celebrate our UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
There is something for everyone: wildlife, landscape, art, walks, talks, storytelling, film, music, craft, history, dance, gardening, fashion, science and more. It will be a thought-provoking, moving, inspirational celebration of what makes our Island great, showcasing over 50 local organisations each running their own events.
Whether you're an Islander or a visitor, take this opportunity to find hidden gems, unearth expert local knowledge and enjoy our beautiful and vibrant island nature.
