Ukefest artists

The first ever Isle of Wight Ukulele Festival will take place on the weekend of 22nd to 24th July 2016.

The festival will run from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon and will include performances from some of the top ukulele artists from the UK and Europe. Many of the artists will also be holding workshops so that you can hone your ukulele skills under the guidance of the experts.

In addition there will be open mic and jam sessions so that you can showcase your own skills or just enjoy the fun and atmosphere of what promises to be a great weekend! If that's not enough then you can dance the night away on Saturday evening to one of the island's favourite bands: JC and the Dance Preachers.

The festival will be held in 5 venues close to the centre of Newport with the main artists event taking place on Saturday afternoon and evening at the Medina Theatre. Workshops, open mic and jam sessions will be held at Quay Arts, The Bargeman's Rest, The Castle Inn and the Riverside Centre throughout the rest of the weekend.

Tickets are available via our website at www.wightukefest.co.uk
