Ryde Arts Festival
Ryde has been celebrating with its own festival for fifteen years, receiving many Arts Council grants and backing from the Ryde Town Council, Isle of Wight Council and local business organisations.

Ryde Arts Festival has always been a community based celebration of the talents of the town and wider Island. Our mission has been to commission new work and so grow opportunities for professional artists. We always seek to involve many individuals and groups in all our projects and believe that by working in collaboration we can all achieve exciting outcomes.

Previous years have seen towering installations, heard new music and created a life size rag doll family, to name a few. This year we have achieved a two-year grant from Arts Council England which we hope will Grow Ryde’s fame even further.
