Jack Up Presents: Ticket to Ryde
Situated along the seafront just a stone’s throw from Ryde’s golden sand beaches, this free-to-attend mini-festival provides a rich mix of bank holiday entertainment for both Island residents and visitors!
What's On
Free entry - no advance tickets required!
Organised by Jack Up Events with the support of Ryde Town Council, Ticket to Ryde has become a Bank Holiday highlight.
Taking place on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th August, this feel-good extravaganza promises a bumper weekend of live music, local traders, food stalls, kids activities, and much more. The event aims to bring together the community while supporting the MS Society Isle of Wight.
Despite its name, no ticket is required! There aren’t many things you can do for free these days but Ticket to Ryde provides an opportunity to enjoy an impressive line-up of the very best local bands and solo singers, with an opportunity for upcoming new talent to take to the stage.
Island traders will be showcasing their products and services, offering a unique opportunity to discover and support the local economy. Food stalls will cater to all pallets and dietary requirements, serving a wide variety of delicious hot food options and refreshing beverages throughout the weekend. There will be a real ale bar courtesy of Island Ales and a selection of traditional market traders.
With a lovely atmosphere and laid-back family-friendly vibe, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a lazy bank holiday weekend!
See the Jack Up Events website for more information.
