Ryde Castle Charity Christmas Fair brings local suppliers to Ryde Castle Hotel on Wednesday 9 December, from 5pm to 8pm. Stalls spread across the Castle Suite, Solent Suite and front restaurant at the hotel on Ryde Esplanade. The organisers include music and mulled wine in the announcement, and the money raised goes to their chosen local charity. It’s an Isle of Wight Christmas-shopping date for after the daytime errands, with three hours to look around.
The Castle Suite is the main function room, and the other two add space for stallholders. Leave time to look in all three areas so you see every supplier. The organisers haven’t published a supplier list or said what goods will be on sale. If you’re after a particular stall, ask the hotel, or arrive ready to browse whoever is there. The suppliers taking part are local, and the evening is long enough to see them all.
Visitor admission hasn’t been specified. The advertised £10 charge is for hiring a stall. Would-be stallholders can call the hotel on 01983 563755 to ask about this Christmas community fair. If you’re coming to shop, check visitor arrangements and whether refreshments cost extra before you set out. The announcement leaves the beneficiary unnamed, so ask the organisers which local charity the fair supports.
