Local Charity Ticket Ballot

Posted on May 02, 2025

Sky presents the Isle of Wight Festival’s local charity initiative returns for 2025! 

Local charities and good causes on the Island are invited to apply for tickets to use in their fundraising activities via our ballot system.

20 pairs of tickets are available; with organisations able to apply up until midnight Wednesday 7th May 2025 with a brief explanation of what they intend to do with the tickets for the benefit of their charity or good cause.

This local initiative continues the great work the Festival has done with island charities and good causes over the years, including supporting Mountbatten, The Wave Project, The Isle of Wight Red Squirrel Trust, Ryde Inshore Rescue, UKSA, Ability Dogs 4 Young People, Aspire Ryde and St Catherine's School amongst many others.

As Festival Owner, John Giddings, says:

“Good luck to all the local charities that enter this year’s Isle of Wight Festival Charity Initiative. We hope that it will help the winners raise much needed funds to support the amazing work that they all do! Here’s to another great year of the Festival!”

If you're a charitable organisation based on the island, you can enter the ballot to be in with a chance of winning a pair to use in your fundraising activities. We hope that this will help you raise awareness and the profile of your charity.
