Bembridge Craft Market returns to Bembridge Village Hall on Thursday 18 June, open from 10am to 4pm with a hall full of island makers and unique handcrafted pieces. It is the sort of market where you browse slowly, chat to stallholders and pick up something you would not find on a High Street rack.
Bembridge village gives the day a proper east Wight feel: harbour close by, windmill on the hill, and enough independent shops to stretch a morning if you arrive early. The poster promises a host of makers rather than a single theme, so expect a mix of crafts, gifts and local creativity rather than one narrow speciality. It is a calm weekday market, useful when you want to support island makers without the noise of a summer showground.
Pricing is not listed on the poster, so bring cash or card as stallholders prefer. Pair it with lunch on the High Street or a harbour walk if you want a full day out. More arts and crafts events on the Isle of Wight and community markets are listed through the summer.
