Folly Pontoon Rally - 2 nights (5 Jun 2026)

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 23:00:00 GMT

RALLY INFORMATION

A 2 night rally berthing mid-stream at the Folly Pontoon. These popular berths are a pontoon only. They are not "walk ashore" and do not have any water or electricity so you will need to be self sufficient. The pontoon is located directly opposite the Folly Inn on the upper reaches of the Medina River, so offer a generally more peaceful experience than the local marinas. You may be required to raft.

To get ashore you will need to use either the Folly Water Taxi (check operating times) or use your own dinghy/tender.

Rally Leaders: Howard & Nikki Richardson - Riptide

Port Details
VHF Channel: 72
Earliest Time of Arrival: 1400hrs

Saturday 6 June

A day to stretch your legs, explore or simply relax aboard.

11:00 Optional scenic walk to Newport (approx. 2.4 miles / 50 minutes) along the beautiful Medina Greenway. Newport is the county town of the Isle of Wight and its primary commercial centre. Located on the River Medina, it features historic Georgian/Victorian architecture with numerous shops, pubs and coffee shops.

Quay Arts is recommended for coffee – a charming arts centre in a converted 19th-Century warehouse with waterside terrace and excellent homemade cakes. For lunch, try the pub next door, The Bargeman’s Rest – a favourite for real ales and home-cooked pub food by the river.

If you don’t fancy the walk back, hop on the No 5 bus to Whippingham Forge with a 10 minute walk back to the Folly pontoon.

19.30 hrs – Rally Dinner at The Folly Inn.

Enjoy a lively evening at this historic riverside inn, whose origins date back to an 18th-century smuggler’s barge. With live music from 20:00, expect a great atmosphere — and possibly some dancing!

Winter Event - Lady Hamilton Dinner (31 Oct 2026)

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 19:30:00 GMT

This year's autumn event will keep the nautical theme of previous years (Trafalgar Night, Pickle Night and the Battle of Taranto), but tell the story from a different point of view.

When Admiral Nelson died at the Battle of Trafalgar he left behind a widow, Viscountess Frances Nelson, but scandalously also left behind his mistress, Lady Emma Hamilton and their daughter Horatia.

Emma Hamilton was a true celebrity and we will be telling her story in a way that links her fascinating history to modern ideas of fame at this formal 3 course dinner.

More details coming soon.
