Ventnor Day will take place this coming Saturday (1st July) at Ventnor Park from 12 noon to 6pm. The event is free.
Ventnor Day is organised by a partnership of Ventnor Town Council, Ventnor Carnival Association and Ventnor Putting Green.
Enjoy a free fun day out
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.
Live music and performance all day
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 – see Events OnTheWight for listings.
Food and drink is being provided by Curry on Wheels, Tee in the Park, Lady Scarlett’s Tea Parlour, Better Days Café and Crave Ice Cream.

“We are delighted to once again invite both Ventnorians and Islanders to our beautiful park to celebrate our community.
