Tomorrow and Saturday sees an artists and markers sale takes place in Cowes, showcasing ten Island artists, the sale is a great opportunity to pick up a bargain or two.

Starting tomorrow is a new exhibition, Melt, by VB favs Michael Forrest an David Knight. A pair of very talented young artists, this collaboration is sure to be a great hit in the cafe of Quay Arts. all welcome to the drinks reception on Saturday night between 6-8pm.

Shifting from art to fitness, if you’re looking for something different on Saturday and want to support the great efforts of Darren and Skinny from the Ventnor Boxing Club then head to the Winter Gardens from 3pm.
