This event has been cancelled in light of the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
Feel-good ukulele tunes and an uplifting brass band will bring cheer to visitors to Vernon Square, Ryde at a late Summer music celebration on Saturday 17th September.
The ever-popular Rug Band and Vectis Brass will perform live in the Square’s garden at 14:00, which is open to the public and cared for by volunteers.
Another popular artist will be former Platform One graduate, singer-songwriter Izzy Russell.
After a 2-year COVID-19 hiatus the Square‘s Conservation Society is holding a ‘come back’ event with refreshments including soft drinks, wine and fizz. Other attractions include a raffle with prizes, all to be won on the day, plus delicious home-baked savouries and cakes.
All are welcome for a £1 entrance fee, with those thinking of attending urged to bring camping chairs or rugs for extra comfort.
The once derelict square, off Melville Street, was rescued by local campaigners and officially opened by the late environmentalist David Bellamy in 1989. The Society purchased the land and turned it into a quiet green retreat.
All proceeds will be going to The Vernon Square Conservation Society to help preserve and maintain the colourful garden, the only one of its kind on the Isle of Wight.
Please note however that Vernon Square is a dog-free zone, saved only for on duty Guide Dogs.
