The Isle of Wight Bus and Coach Museum opens its hangar doors for a summer craft and gift fair on Sunday 19 July, with locally made stalls set among the vintage buses that make the museum worth visiting on a quiet Ryde afternoon anyway.
The fair runs 11am to 4pm with the café open, so you can browse crafts, step back into the vehicle collection and still be home in time for a late lunch. It suits families who want something indoors with a clear end time, and anyone who likes a market that is not entirely jam and candles.
Park Road in Ryde is easy to reach from the hovercraft or catamaran if you are day-tripping from Portsmouth. Check the museum's own posts for stall holders and any parking pinch points on a Sunday. More arts and crafts events run across the island in July if you want to pair this with a making workshop earlier in the week.
