Saturday 1 August is likely to be the busiest day of the I Love Wight exhibition at Quarr Abbey, with the full maker list on show from 10am to 4.30pm. Expect jewellery, pottery, soap, bags and art aimed at visitors who want island-made gifts with a face behind the stall.
If you are building a Ryde or east-Wight day out, Quarr sits close enough to combine with Fishbourne ferry arrivals or a coastal walk without much backtracking. Arrive earlier if you dislike crowded aisles; the abbey grounds are worth a slow loop afterwards.
See more arts and craft events across the summer calendar. The Instagram-forward makers in the lineup should suit anyone who follows island small businesses online and wants to buy in person.
