Ventnor Day will take place on Saturday 6th July at Ventnor Park from noon to 6pm. The event is free and everyone is welcome to come along and join the fun.
Ventnor Day is organised by a partnership of Ventnor Town Council, Ventnor Carnival Association and Ventnor Putting Green. It’s a celebration of our town’s community spirit and our voluntary and community sector – with live music, performance, stalls, and food in the picturesque setting of Ventnor Park. It’s a great opportunity to find out and support Ventnor’s voluntary and community sector and enjoy a free fun day out.
A full programme of music and performances
The event will be opened by Mayor Steve Cooper, with the Ventnor Carnival Queens and Ventnor Comic Jazz Band.
There is a full programme of music and performance on both stages, including The Hillmans, Whatevva, Ventnor Ukes, Nellie Pickles, Greg Barnes and Abbey Brass.
Refreshments
A wide variety of food providers will be there: Tee in the Park, Lady Scarlett’s Tea Parlour, Better Days Cafe, The Wight Smoke and Crave Ice Cream. So why not come along to the Park and enjoy the stalls and a bite to eat!
A fabulous array of traders, and local and island wide organisations will be attending. There will be games, tombolas, raffles, dance performances by Dance Vibez and children’s entertainers.
Make a day of it
The event starts at midday, so why not spend the morning enjoying all that Ventnor has to offer: the town and beach with their shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs.
Cooper: It’s a great day out for all ages
Mayor of Ventnor, Steve Cooper said,
“Ventnor Day showcases the best of our town, from our rich and diverse voluntary and community organisations to our artists, and crafters and some of our most popular musicians and food outlets. It’s a great day out for all ages in the picturesque setting of Ventnor Park and Putting Green – and a chance to raise funds for Ventnor Carnival.
“Thanks to our many volunteers that help to make the day run smoothly. A particular thanks to the Comic Jazz band for opening the event. Ventnor Day is a wonderful opportunity to support the local community, to socialise and enjoy the best of Ventnor.”
