The much-anticipated community event, Ticket to Ryde, is set to make a return to Eastern Gardens on Ryde beach-front this weekend. Taking place tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday (May 25), the event aims to bring together the community, while supporting the MS Society IW.
Despite its name, no ticket is required! Ticket to Ryde provides an opportunity to enjoy a line-up of acts including Pistol Knights, The Signal Men, Island Vibe, Greg & The Bears, Hash Tag, The Amy Jolliffe Band, It’s Not a Phase Mom!, High School Never Ends, Sarah Kelly, Double Take and more.
Island traders will be showcasing their products and services, offering the opportunity to discover and support the local economy. Food stalls will cater to all palates and dietary requirements, serving a wide variety of hot food options and beverages throughout the weekend. There will be a real ale bar, courtesy of Island Ales, and a selection of traditional market traders.
On-stage proceedings start at 11.30am through until 8pm on both days. Market stalls and food vendors open from 10am each morning.
Admission to Ticket to Ryde is free, thanks to the support of organisers Jack Up Events working in conjunction with Ryde Town Council. For more information about the event and the schedule of performances, see iw.observer/ticket-to-ryde or follow Ticket to Ryde on social media.
