We love May mayhem

Welcome to Love Ventnor, a website for our special seaside town produced in association with the Ventnor Business Association. Have a look, enjoy… and even better advertise and support your local community!

Get ready for Isle of Arts!

This is one of the most exciting times of the year in Ventnor – for four whole days, this pretty lil’ town bursts into creative flower, with music, comedy, drama, film, literature and visual arts. Yes, we’re talking about the fabulous Isle of Arts Festival, which runs from 1-4 May. Acts include comedian Gyles Brandreth, cellist Julian Lloyd Webber, stargazer Mark Thompson, the Massive Violins and the Island’s very own Hentai Babies (a favourite of LoveVentnor, in case you hadn’t noticed). Plus food, vintage fairs, an art trail… and loads more. Plan your weekend here.

Pedal power

One of the first signs of Spring is the sight of ‘virgin’ bikers, cycling around our beautiful town. The excellent news is that if your bike is on the ‘tired’ side, or if you’re on hols here from the Big Island, then you can rent bikes now from Church Street Motorcycles. Yes Ventnor’s ‘good samaritan’ (County Press) has a chic range of cycles. Book now!

Gospel comes to Ventnor – alleluia!

On Sunday 10 May, catch gospel faves the Medina Community Choir at St Catherine’s Church at 2.30pm. They’re performing a selection of songs with a choir from Denmark who call themselves the ‘Beached whales’. Got to be fun – and just £5.
