In keeping with the tradition of the last nine years Ventnor Exchange will open its doors early on Saturday 20th April to host music lovers from far and wide.
Ventnor Exchange is the original official Record Store Day (RSD) outlet on the Isle of Wight, and have been enthusiastic participants of the event ever since the store opened in 2014. This worldwide phenomenon has been one the driving forces behind the vinyl revival that started in 2007.

A few important bits of information to note:
- Ventnor Exchange (11 Church Street, Ventnor PO38 1SW) will be open from the earlier time of 8am. We’re open right through until 11pm
- RSD rules dictate no pre-orders or reservations. It’s first come, first served so it’s best to arrive early if there’s something you’re really after.
- Stock is very limited, especially this year, so we don’t allow anyone to purchase multiple copies of any record.
- All of our normal records will also be available
- Any RSD releases not sold will be available on our online shop from 8pm on Monday 22nd April 2024.
- While in Ventnor why not also check out Ingram’s Yard Market on Dudley Road which will be taking place on the same day from 10am-4pm, 3 mins walk from the Exchange
