Ryde Arts

Ryde Arts Festival grew from the SEEDA funded Ryde Development Trust in 2001.

One of the Trusts aims was to stimulate the regeneration of the town through the arts. The Festival returned each year, bringing more live music, theatre, art and more to the town for Islanders’ enjoyment.

It is now a year-round programme supported by Arts Council, Historic England and Heritage Lottery Fund.

Below are some of the articles by OnTheWight featuring Ryde Arts.
