Ingram’s Yard Market makes a comeback in Ventnor with pilot events

Following on from the success of Ingram’s Yard Market held just before Christmas 2023, traders are returning to the former builder’s yard this coming weekend.

The Ventnor Exchange team have announced two pilot events to test the waters. The first market takes place on Saturday 6th April from 10am-4pm, whilst the second follows a couple of weeks later on Saturday 20th April.

A contemporary marketplace
The aim of Ingram’s market is to establish a contemporary marketplace that champions both rising and established independent creators, designers and artisans, presenting the finest of the Isle of Wight’s local talent and independents.

Explore an array of vintage apparel, jewellery, crafts, baked goods, plants, street food, and coffee as Ventnor Exchange experiment with the concept of hosting a regular market in Ventnor.

Show your support
If the two test events are well supported, there are plans for it to return (with a diverse mix of traders) every fortnight throughout the summer.

Traders taking part on 6th April will be:

  • Lost Mill Bakery
  • Sheer Pink Coffee
  • East Side Kitchen
  • Vintage Emporium
  • The Cakesmith
  • Soap And Anchor
  • Spike Rocks Jewellery
  • Lilly Louise Allen Art
  • Jim’s Woodcraft
  • Floral Boutique

Location
Ingram’s Yard, Dudley Road, Ventnor, PO38 1EF

Driving and Parking
There are several car parks just a few minutes walk from the yard. One on Dudley Road, as well as the Central Car Park in the High Street, and other car parks in Market Street and Pound Lane.

The nearest bus stops are Albert Street (No.3) or Ventnor Boots (No.3 & No.6) both less than five minutes walk from the market.
