CELEBRATE ALL THINGS BEMBRIDGE AT THE VILLAGE’S SUMMER EXHIBITION

Bembridge Heritage will be holding its Summer Exhibition at the Village Hall next month. The theme of this year’s exhibition – which takes place on 10th-11th August – will be a celebration of the wonderful variety of shops, hotels, cafes and restaurants and all manner of businesses that have served the village over the past 150 years. With over 200 items on display, it will be a nostalgic look back at local businesses, from bakers to boatbuilders, haberdashers to hoteliers, grocers to garages, and everything in between. The computerized database will also be available for people to access visual records on screen, with around 8,000 items that may be viewed on all aspects of village life over the years. This promises to be a fascinating and memorable look at how our community has been served over the years by such a variety of businesses and tradesmen. Some of these, people may well recall from more recent times, others that had served previous generations of our community. Refreshments will be available during the event. There will also be a Grand Raffle, with hundreds of pounds worth of prizes to be won, all kindly donated by local businesses.
