This months headline: Keith Farnham
Keith Farnan swapped life as a solicitor for stand-up comedy — and hasn’t looked back.

The Cork-born comedian has performed around the world, from Montreal’s Just For Laughs to Hong Kong and Amsterdam, and appeared on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, Live at the Comedy Store and Dave’s One Night Stand.

Warm, quick and genuinely clever, Keith mixes personal and political comedy with razor-sharp wit. A cracking booking for Ballyrags!

🌊 Where’s the beach? It’s one of the questions we’re asked most at reception… and the good news is, you’re spoiled for choice! ☀️

The Isle of Wight is surrounded by beautiful coastline, but if you’re staying with us at The Royal Esplanade Hotel, you have two fantastic beaches right on your doorstep.

🐾 Players Beach – Simply cross the road towards the pier and you’ll find this peaceful, year-round dog-friendly beach. Perfect for a relaxing stroll, paddling , or catching one of Ryde’s spectacular sunsets.

🏖️ Appley Beach – Turn right and enjoy a leisurely walk along the Esplanade for just a few minutes to reach one of the Island’s most popular golden sandy beaches. Ideal for sunbathing, swimming, family days out, with cafés, a children’s playground and plenty of space to unwind.

Whichever you choose, the seaside is never more than a few minutes away when you stay with us. 💙

Which is your favourite – Players or Appley? Let us know in the comments! 👇
