Bembridge Craft Market
Bembridge Village Hall, Bembridge PO35 5SN
This craft market is always popular with both locals and visitors. The village hall creates a great venue for Island crafters to display their unique handcrafted items.

Bembridge beach is also close by so you can enjoy a walk on the beach (if the tide is right!).
Bembridge Street Fair
Bembridge Village, Bembridge
This is Bembridge’s annual street fair and it’s not to be missed! With around 100 stalls lining the High Street, this is always well attended and is one of the biggest street fairs on the Island. The emphasis is very much on family fun so there’s something for everyone. Definitely one for the diary!
Ingram’s Yard Market
Albert Street, Ventnor - access to the market is via Dudley Road, Ventnor PO38 1EZ

Springtime at Quarr Abbey
Studio at Quarr Abbey, Ryde PO33 4ES
I’ll be joining a group of hugely talented makers for this springtime exhibition at Quarr Abbey, hosted by Nervous Wreck Designs of Cowes. Although I’ll only be there in person on the afternoon of Monday, 22 April, you can purchase all Soap and Anchor products any time this event is open. Quarr Abbey makes for a great visit. Situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the visitor centre provides information about the monastery and there are a number of walking and cycling routes close by.
The exhibition will be open daily from 10.30am to 4pm.

Brighstone Craft Market
Wilberforce Hall, North St, Brighstone PO30 4AX
A new market that is steadily growing in size and popularity. The focus is on community at this market, with locals gathering for tea, coffee and cake, which means that as well as the handmade crafts on display, there’s usually a good selection of delicious homemade cakes! There are some great walks around Brighstone so this market makes for a welcome pitstop if you’re out and about exploring in the area.
