About the event

Isle of Wight Tango Weekend, SPECIAL EDITION (last of the summer tango vibes)
Soak up the last of the summer tango vibes in Shanklin, officially the UK's sunniest spot. Flavio de Brito and Matt Donovan bring carefully-crafted workshops, and we bring you great tango tunes from across the decades, including tangos from the modern orchestras as well as a splash of Nuevo and Alt, at the milongas and practicas. Inbetween events, the beach is a 1-minute walk and our beautiful hotel has a cute pool and a terrace overlooking the English Channel.
Easy to get to, Shanklin can be accessed by fastcat ( a fast boat with the company Wightlink) to Ryde then a fun train ride on an ex-London subway train.
Coming from London/Brighton /Southampton on the train? Buy a through return ticket which includes train and fastcat.
OR…come on the car ferry and drive - it’s a relaxed way to get here - free parking at our Hotel & ferry discounts available.

***Watch out for my upcoming video on the bijoux train connection from Ryde to Shanklin…
