Situated along the seafront just a stone’s throw from Ryde’s golden sand beaches, this free-to-attend event has become a Bank Holiday highlight! It provides a rich mix of bank holiday entertainment for both Island residents as well as an attraction for visitors to the Island’s shores.

Over the Late May Bank Holiday weekend, feel-good live music will be provided by The Redcatz Rock’n’Roll Trio, Momentary High, The Signal Men, It’s Not a Phase Mom!, Emellia, Diva-Licious, Charlene Duncan, Greg Barnes, The Sirens, Amy Jolliffe, Steve Love’s Island Songs and more.

There will be a real ale bar courtesy of Island Ales, hot food freshly cooked by Island caterers including mouth-watering loaded fries, delicious burgers, cured and smoked sausages, meats, and cheeses and Mexican cuisine, all made using locally sourced ingredients. There will also be delicious locally-produced shortbread and cheesecakes plus ice creams, candy floss and sweet nachos. Not forgetting teas, coffees, hot chocolates, fresh churros and doughnuts, all served with a smile!

You can also browse a range of traditional market stalls. Why not pose for a hand-drawn caricature, have your tarot cards read or indulge in a beautifully sculpted henna tattoo? A range of children’s activities, including hair braiding and face painting will keep the little ones happy whilst the adults relax and enjoy the music.

Organised by Jack Up Events in conjunction with Ryde Town Council to enable residents to engage with culture at no cost on their doorstep, Ticket to Ryde is a firm favourite in the Island’s calendar.
