Built in the Art Deco style in 1936, the Winter Gardens was the premier entertainment centre of the area. It hosted seaside shows, tea dances, talent contests etc, all popular in that era.
Today, it has changed its emphasis to be the Ventnor community entertainment and meeting place with a whole variety of different activities and events on offer.
The Ventnor Winter Gardens Action Group of volunteers (Charity 1126643)supports the permanent staff to improve the financial viability of the venue and to enable community use at economic rates.
Look out in the Local and Island papers, IOW radio etc for news of forthcoming events such as markets, pantomimes, jazz and rock concerts, comedy clubs, art film showings, and much more, or check out the events list at www.ventnorwintergardens.co.uk or http://events.onthewight.com/venues/ventnor-winter-gardens .
