The excitement for Isle of Wight Day, on Saturday 17th September, is building and it’s time to get your bunting out.
This special day is a chance for Island residents and visitors to celebrate the heritage and history of this Island we call home.
For the past number of years, this annual event has included the chance to trim your property or local area with special Isle of Wight Day bunting.
Isle of Wight Day has teamed up with one of the Island’s most established businesses, Hurst, to help the distribution of this free bunting.
From today (Monday) pop into any Hurst store on the Island and collect your free bunting. The hardware and department store has shops located in Ryde, Newport, Cowes, Freshwater, Ventnor and Shanklin.
The main Isle of Wight Day event this year has the theme of Be A Roman For A Day. It takes place at Brading Roman Villa on Saturday 17th September costing just £1 for Island residents, with a packed family fun day in store.

Read the item again as you obviously missed where it states its free and on the way pop into a library and borrow a dictionary as your spelling is terrible.
I think Fred might be pretending to be someone from the Isle of Wight and even if he isn’t, don’t be mean!
Sorry, get it right, you seem to have missed the fact Fred is insulting the people of the Isle of Wight. I fear you fell into his trap.
Looks like someone is pissed again, in the afternoon! Probably on benefits

Well I won’t be putting any bunting up. – I’m an islander, was born here and spent all but 5 of my 60 years living here. I’ve seen many changes to “Island Life” during those years and can tell you that none of it is for the better. – And before you all say it, I can’t afford to move away, but if I could I would.
Well, I think it should be cancelled, like the cycle race, out of respect for H.M. The Queen!
