Ventnor Exchange is celebrating its 10th birthday this November.
The community hub, which was established by a group of Ventnor locals to provide a permanent home for the Ventnor Fringe, has grown significantly over the years.
The space is now a bustling centre with a record store, performance area, co-working space, and a café and craft beer bar that's open seven days a week.
Co-director Mhairi Macaulay said: "Today Ventnor Exchange is a thriving hub of workshops, clubs, socials, a record store, a performance space, and co-working space.
"The organisation also reaches out across the whole Island with a mission to create cultural experiences available for all."
Since 2014 Ventnor Exchange has gradually refurbished the Post Office building in Church Street, and has hosted hundreds of events across the Island, welcomed creative clubs and groups and commissioned new projects.
To mark its decade-long journey, Ventnor Exchange has organised a fundraising '£10 for 10 years raffle' with prizes from the Isle of Wight Festival, Isle of Wight Distillery, Eurovines and more.
It has also planned a day of performances on Saturday, November 30, featuring some of the creative groups that meet at the venue.
Co-director Jack Whitewood said: "Ventnor Exchange means many things to many people so let's get together to look back on the amazing creative experiences we’ve had and look forward to what comes next."
The programme for the day includes free tea from 10am, performances by the Ventnor Ukulele Lubbers General Assembly at 12.30pm and the Ventnor Exchange Community Choir at 1.30pm.
The VEX Spoken Word Collective will take the stage at 2pm, followed by the announcement of the raffle winners at 3pm.
Live music from Romy Helen will round off the afternoon from 4.30pm to 6pm.
The celebrations will culminate in a birthday silent disco from 9pm until midnight.
Ventnor Exchange is a non-profit community interest company, meaning all funds raised are reinvested into creating more cultural experiences and opportunities.
Tickets for the silent disco and the raffle can be purchased online.
More information about the event can be found on the Ventnor Exchange website.
