The excitement for Isle of Wight Day 2022 is building and it’s time to get your bunting out.

The special day, on Saturday, September 17, is a chance for Island residents and visitors to celebrate the Island's heritage and everything that's good about Island life.

The annual event also gives the chance to decorate your property or local area with special Isle of Wight Day bunting.

Isle of Wight Day has teamed up with one of Island’s most established businesses, Hurst, to help the distribution of the free bunting.

Pop into any Hurst store to collect it.

The main Isle of Wight Day event has the theme of Be A Roman For A Day.

It will take place at Brading Roman Villa for just £1 entry for Island residents, and promises a packed family fun day.

The day will be packed with a range of activities including Roman soldier school, Roman sword and shield making, Roman mosaic making, entertainment, bouncy castles and a chance to meet Isle of Wight Day mascot, Nipper The Crab, in his full Roman armoury.

There will be more than 40 volunteer organisations from across the Island, organised by Community Action Isle of Wight, who will have demonstrations and activities for all to join in.

Isle of Wight Day CEO, Becky Daley, said: “We have worked closely with Brading Roman Villa to create the most fantastic fun experience for all the family, bringing our Island history to life on this special day.

"There will be so many things for everyone to see and do."

The gates open at 10am.
