Held on the picturesque Isle of Wight, Takeover is a highly anticipated annual event celebrating car enthusiasts passion for their cars.

More Than a Car Show… It's a Weekend You'll Never Forget

The Isle of Wight Takeover isn't just another car show – it's one of the UK's most unique automotive weekends away. Every year, thousands of enthusiasts, clubs and families make the journey across the Solent for an unforgettable weekend of incredible cars, entertainment, island scenery and an atmosphere unlike anything else on the show calendar.

Whether you're travelling with your club, bringing the family, or making new friends for the weekend, the Takeover is all about celebrating car culture in a relaxed, welcoming environment where everyone feels part of something special.

Plan Your 2027 Trip Early

We're giving clubs and attendees more time than ever before to plan their Isle of Wight Takeover weekend.

Club Stand registrations are opening well ahead of ticket sales, allowing clubs to organise their members and secure their place before general admission tickets are released.

To make travelling even easier, we've once again partnered with Red Funnel, offering an exclusive ferry discount available when tickets go on sale.

We're also delighted to announce an exclusive accommodation partnership with Parkdean Resorts, giving Takeover attendees discounted stays on the Isle of Wight. Both the ferry discount and accommodation offers will be available from the moment tickets are released, making it easier and more affordable to plan your weekend.
