Major Reform UK event for Island supporters

By Carole Dennett Feb 26, 2026

Islanders curious to find out more about the growth of Reform UK are being invited to gather for a high energy Reform UK rally on Monday, March 9, as the party hosts a large scale event at GG’s Bar & Restaurant, on the outskirts of Newport. Doors open at 5.30pm, with the main programme beginning at 7pm.

The rally will feature a keynote address from leader, Nigel Farage MP, alongside appearances from several Reform UK guest speakers. Organisers describe it as a broadcast-style event designed to bring together members and supporters ahead of the May 7 local elections, offering attendees the chance to hear directly from senior figures about the party’s priorities and campaign messages. It is expected to be the Island’s largest political gathering for years.

The event is open to Island residents of 16 years or older who are either members of Reform UK or supporters of the party. Tickets are priced at £5 and must be purchased in advance; entry will not be permitted without a pre-booked ticket.

For security, guests will need to take photo ID – such as a passport or driving licence – along with their digital or printed ticket. Bag checks will be in place, with only small bags no larger than A4 permitted. Photography and short video clips are allowed, although livestreaming is not.

Organisers are encouraging early booking to secure a place. They can be booked via iw.observer/farage-rally.
