About

Ventnor Fringe, the Island’s multi award winning arts festival, which features gigs, comedy and performances in unusual spaces around Ventnor, is set to return from the 18th - 27th July 2025.

Discover the best new music, comedy and theatre at the Isle of Wight's largest arts festival, Ventnor Fringe. Taking place over 10 days the festival transforms the Island's southernmost town with a whole world of pop-up venues and bars in every conceivable space, hosting over 150 different shows offering something for everyone.

From cutting-edge cabaret to spectacular circus, events take place in a 'Festival Village' in the beautiful Ventnor Park where there are a number of Big Tops and tented venues, but venture beyond this main site and you may discover events in ancient churches, underground bunkers, locals front rooms and even a 1930s Parisian bus!
