 Christmas Greetings From The IYPWhether you have family and friends visiting over the holidays, or just want to make the most of the extra few days off, there are plenty of opportunities to get out and about on the Island during Christmas week. After the indulgence of Christmas Day, you can let off steam at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway's Mince Pie Specials (26-28 December). Settle back in one of their comfortable, vintage carriages as you travel through some of the Island's winter landscape.

The Festive Events Are Coming!We spotted this on the Isle of Wight council's website. It seems as if it's aimed at tourists to the Island but we can't see why it wasn't aimed at us locals aswell. We have edited this PR to be more 'Island Friendly'.
With lots of festive events in the lead up to Christmas, this November and December are an especially magical time to get out and do something seasonal.
