🎯 Supporting Local Talent 🎯

We're proud to be sponsoring and supporting Harry Townsend, one of the Isle of Wight's most dedicated and promising young darts players.

Harry's commitment, determination and passion for the game is clear to see, and it's fantastic to be able to back a young athlete who is putting in the hard work to develop his talent and chase his ambitions.

The Isle of Wight has a history of producing exceptional sporting talent, and we genuinely believe Harry has a bright future ahead of him. Remember the name... you might just be watching him walk onto the stage at Ally Pally in the years to come! 🎯🏆

We're looking forward to following Harry's journey and wish him every success as he continues to climb the ranks.

Good luck, Harry, from all of us

Great evening at the Isle of Wight Radio Child of Wight Awards 2026 last night. Tapnell Farm

This was our third year sponsoring the Sporting Star Award, and we're incredibly proud to play a small part in such a fantastic event.

Credit to all the sponsors and the team at Isle of Wight Radio for bringing it all together. That's the easy part though. The real credit goes to the nominees and winners.

Listening to the stories of these young people is genuinely emotional. Every one of them is a star. The determination, positivity, selflessness, resilience, and the challenges they've overcome are truly inspiring.

A massive well done to everyone involved. You should all be incredibly proud.

✅ ABTOT Limited Bond Renewed for Another Year at Education Destination – Giving schools and parents peace of mind when you book with us

We're pleased to confirm that our ABTOT bond has been successfully renewed, following a rigorous due diligence and financial review process.

This isn't a "nice to have" accreditation. It's an essential layer of protection for schools, parents and group organisers. After all, you wouldn't book a family holiday without financial protection, so why would a school trip be any different?

Our ABTOT bond means that money paid to us is protected, providing peace of mind for schools, teachers, parents and students alike.

It's just one of the many reasons schools continue to trust us with their educational visits year after year.

💡 Ask your school trip provider to show you their bond and financial protection arrangements. If they can't, you should be asking why.

Because protecting your trip and your money isn't optional. It's essential.
