At the end of November, our friends over at Ventnor Exchange will be marking 12 years of creativity and community on the Isle of Wight.
This inspirational cultural hub is the brainchild of a bunch of young Ventnorians, who set out to create a permanent home for Ventnor Fringe Festival (which celebrated its 17th year in 2026).
To mark the occasion they have launched a fundraising raffle to help continue their work at Ventnor Exchange and the Ventnor Fringe Festival.
Prizes in the 12th Birthday Raffle
For every £2 you donate, you will receive an entry into the 12th Birthday Raffle.
Prizes include a pair of tickets to ‘Sky presents the Isle of Wight Festival 2027’, as well as tickets to Christmas productions of Robin Hood at The Mayflower Theatre and Mother Goose at Theatre Royal Portsmouth.
Other prizes include gifts from National Trust, Wight Knuckle Brewery, Isle of Wight Distillery, Craft House Coffee and Cantina, with more being added soon.
How to enter
To be in with a chance, purchase your raffle tickets now.
The raffle will run until the end of the month.
Funds go back into the CIC
Ventnor Exchange is a non-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) so all funds generated are invested back into creating more cultural experiences and opportunities.
Over the past 12 years, the team has gradually refurbished the building on Church Street, hosted hundreds of events in Ventnor and around the Island, instigated and invited numerous creative clubs and groups, commissioned new works, as well as operating as a cafe and craft beer bar open seven days a week.
See the Ventnor Exchange website for more information.
