A new comedy performed by puppets for local people who like local things.

Ventnor Exchange’s riotous new comedy explores the high glamour of local news as we go behind the scenes at Diamond Radio. Not afraid to tackle the big issues over breakfast or afternoon tea with a side helping of crumpets, classic tunes, hilarious anecdotes and award winning banter. It’s bound to be a hit, just like the tunes!

Cost: Adults £10 Under 25s £5 (Arts Council supported show that will have opened the week before at Ventnor Exchange).

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.
