W Hurst & Son is hosting a ‘Celebration Day’ next weekend to mark a very special milestone. Founded back in 1859, the local firm is celebrating 165 years in business this year with an event on Saturday 1st June. Much of the activity, including in-store demos will take place at the Newport branch where there is more space. Live chef demos – allowing punters to sample delicious creations – will also take in Newport. Hurst has won numerous awards over the years and was most recently won a customer service award at the 2024 Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce Awards. On the day savings and prize draw giveaways will take place in all of the 6 W Hurst & Son stores.

A truly wonderful company and staff.
Best Company on the Island by far, too be honest one of the best
Companies in the country.
Very helpful staff, great customer service and great that you can buy what you
need, rather than buy a huge amount of items you will never need
Eg, if wanting only 10 screws or nails etc, don’t need to buy an whole box.
Keep up the good work Hurst
Happy birthday
