Ventnor Fringe Festival

It's now hard to imagine Ventnor without Ventnor Fringe - An amazing achievement in ten years. This video reveals the who and why behind the event that just continues to get stronger.

The show is about what it's like to drag yourself up on stage when you're spectacularly shy, nervous, confused and a little bitter when your friend leaves you for dust as they become famous, but really it's about education, meditation and this rampant plague of distractedness that afflicts us all.

If you have some spare time, why not get involved? As previous a volunteer says, you’ll meet some of the kindest and most talented people you could imagine, all in this most amazing town.

The concert will feature a wide-ranging selection the musicians hope will appeal to everyone, with 18th century baroque music, American jazz and classical White House favourite Earl Wild, and film composer Richard Rodney Bennett.

The show especially resonates with swimmers, people who've moved country and 90s kids, but the themes of growing up and learning to be confident in yourself and your body are universal. Book now to avoid disappointment.

Book your tickets today for this inventive and hilarious comedy mystery which features two fearless actors playing every role in this fast paced farce.

If you're hoping to perform at this year's Ventnor Fringe Festival (celebrating its tenth anniversary), you'll need to register by midnight tomorrow (30th April).

The Isle of Wight Venue Campaign has a special treat for folk and rock lovers on Saturday 27th July at Ventnor Fringe Festival. Book now for Kindred Spirit, Uncle Rust and Doozer McDooze!

Some might remember Charlie from presenting Children's TV show, Rainbow, but she's also one of the UK’s most respected songwriters. For Ventnor Fringe she'll team up with multi-instrumentalist Julian Littman of Steeleye Span and and virtuoso double bass player, Gareth Huw Davies.

A project aimed at encouraging residents to find out more about the arts and culture on the Isle of Wight announces their public artist commission for Newport, East Cowes and Totland.

Some of the town's lovely independents get a mention and although the feature is obviously a great big ad for iZettle, it is also a great big ad for Ventnor town and you can't argue with that.
