Thanks to Tess for this roundup of Isle of Arts collaborations. In her own words. Ed
Ventnor Library is delighted to be hosting four events over the Isle of Arts weekend.
On Friday 20th from 6.30pm to 8pm we have a talk celebrating Bram Stoker and his famous novel “Dracula”.
A lost journal has recently been discovered and published and there will be discussion of the great man’s life and work, with artefacts on display and the chance to talk to the experts!
Tickets at £7.50 are available from www.artsisle.org, Seasons, or by telephoning 853445.
Puppet making workshop
On Saturday 21st from 10.30 – 12.30 there is a free puppet making workshop for children with Teresa Grimaldi, and in the afternoon from 2.30-3.30 a free Mad Hatter’s Tea Party for 20 children in Alice in Wonderland inspired costume.
The Tea Party is courtesy of the Friends of Ventnor Library and there will be prizes for the best costume! Space is limited so ring the Library on 852039 or pop in to book a place.
World Book Night
On Monday 23rd from 7.30 – 9 – when you thought it was all over and to celebrate World Book Night – another freebie – we are giving away 25 copies of Daphne Du Maurier’s classic “Rebecca” – first come, first served! We are also holding a “Desert Island Books” at the same time- share your favourites and if you are brave enough, read aloud an excerpt.
It will all be very informal, so if you prefer to listen or hide in a corner, you can!
