The Isle of Wight Festival was one of the UK’s first ever
music festivals. It was originally held in 1968 and was
organised so quickly that everybody was really surprised
when over 10,000 people turned up. 

англійська з Мішею

Over the next couple of years more and more people

went to the festival. In 1970 around 600,000 people
were there to see legendary rock star Jimi Hendrix’s
last performance before he died. Unfortunately, the
same year. hundreds of people tried to enter the
festival without buying a ticket first, which resulted in
one of the most popular festivals ever, being shut
down for over thirty years. 

The festival made a comeback in 2002 and since then

has grown into one of the biggest events on the
summer festival circuit. It is held every June for three
days and, once again, thousands of people flock to
see some of the world’s best bands. 

This year the festival site included DJ tents, bars, food

stalls and even a funfair. 

So, if you are ever in the South of England during the

summer, make sure you book your tickets for the Isle
of Wight festival. It really is a must-see!

‘The English Landscape style of gardening developed in

England in the 1730s and spread across Europe into the
wider world. In essence the style rejected geometry and,
regularity. Stephen Switzer (1682~ 1745) is the first
practitioner of this style

The development of the English Landscape Garden

involved many other designers, such as Charles
Bridgeman (died 1738), who worked at Richmond, and
William Kent (1684-1748) who worked at both Richmond
and Kew Gardens

Queen Caroline is a patron of English Landscape

Gardening, and, in her own words, her concern was to
set about “helping Nature, not losing it in art” The move
to Richmond Lodge offered her a landscape prime for
development in her favoured style

Queen Caroline held a meeting of critics and designers

ar Richmond Gardens in 1719 to discuss her gardens. The
results of their collaboration at Richmond have been
described as a “geometrical ferme ornee’

Caroline opened the gardens to the public when the

royal family was not in residence. Caroline died in 1737
and the estate passed to George II who continued to
visit the property during the summer months until his
death in 1760.
