This year’s Ventnor Day (Saturday 14th August) is going to be bigger and better than ever.

A partnership between Ventnor Carnival Association and Ventnor Town Council, Ventnor Day will include a children’s fancy dress competition, the Spyglass pirate ship, activities for all ages and an impromptu appearance by Ventnor Comic Jazz Band.

Over 80 stalls have already confirmed – with voluntary and community groups represented alongside many craft stalls.

Live entertainment
There will be two stages – one at the Putting Green – featuring Moonshine Border Morris, Ventnor Theatre Group and Wight Variety.

The Bandstand will feature the Ventnor Darlings, Greg Barnes, The Hooleys, The Hillmans, Olly Fry and Steve Love.

Further acts are still to be announced.
