Want clothing that fits you and expresses your unique style? Say goodbye to fast fashion and start creating your own garments, with the support of fellow sewists and knitters.

Slow Fashion Makers is a monthly get-together to share skills and experiences on the journey to achieving a hand-crafted wardrobe that will be the envy of family and friends.Join us on Saturday 7 March, from 2pm-5pm at the Ventnor Exchange in Church Street, with subsequent sessions held 2pm-5pm on the second Saturday of the month.

Whether you want to try your hand at making a garment for the first time, be more mindful about your fashion choices, or you want support to be more adventurous with your sewing or knitting projects, all are welcome. We have lots of exciting ideas covering everything from fitting adjustments and problem solving, learning new techniques and up-skilling, to refashioning and up-cycling.

If you’d like to get involved, ring Gilly Jenner on 07976 685281 or email gillianjenner@ginjer.co.uk.

Channel your creativity and draw together.

Our monthly Drawing Nights are a social gathering bringing together all of those with a love of drawing, spanning all ages and abilities! During these evening we welcome guest artist Katy Rose, a professional illustrator who has worked for clients including Isle of Wight Festival, Bestival, RSPCA, WWF, Heineken and Rapanui as well as being an associate artist of our very own Ventnor Fringe Festival. Katy and Mhairi from Ventnor Exchange will be on hand to set you some fun challenges and help offer advice and feedback on how to improve your technique.

The bar is open throughout as normal for drinks and refreshments or for those who would like to watch.

The first session will be themed on introductions and sketchbook making.

Second Tuesday of every month. 7.30pm – 9.30pm. £5 with materials included.

Shaving? Tanning? Over-exercising? Cabbage-souping? Starving? Don’t bother, we’re not. Grab your pals and your biscuits and watch Beach Body Ready!

It’s the season of cutting carbs, hitting it hard at the gym, and shaving everything from the chin down. Summer has rocked up and the media has us thinking about how our bodies aren’t up to scratch and there are companies ready to capitalise on that. We’ve been shamed, dehumanised, and humiliated for how we look and we’ve had enough.

Join The Roaring Girls for a defiantly feel-good show which sticks two fingers up at how the media says you should look.

The Roaring Girls are getting Beach Body Ready. Are you?

“Engaging, funny and inclusive” – The Guardian

“Beach Body Ready is the show the world has been waiting for” – Within Her Words

The Roaring Girls is presented in association with Hull Truck Theatre, Absolutely Cultured, The Pleasance with support from House, In Good Company and Waterside Arts Centre.

The performance is 70 mins with no interval.
Recommended for 14+ due to some strong language

Content Warning: There are some issues discussed that some may find upsetting, such as mentions of mental health issues, particularly related to body image, body dysmorphia and eating disorders.

All performances are relaxed. The house lights will remain on at a low level, sudden sound noises are lowered, and there is a relaxed atmosphere to movement and sound within the auditorium.
