White Air (extreme sports festival)

White Air is an extreme sports festival held annually on the Isle of Wight at Yaverland pay and display car park.

Fresh rumours of a move to Brighton occurred shortly after the 2008 event[2] which was later confirmed by festival organiser Nigel Howell.

[5] Particularly in recent years the event has suffered heavy criticism by locals due to its close proximity to housing and the level of noise it produces.

[7] However, later music taking place at the 2008 event again caused anger with local residents in Yaverland.

Music was originally licensed to take place until 11pm on Saturday, but White Air organisers requested this be extended to 1am due to changes of entertainment provision at the site.
