Ventnor's unique theatre, craft beer bar and record store. Developing a unique creative community in Your new favourite spot.

Originally built as a Post Office, our building has been re-imagined as a unique creative space. First trailed as a ‘pop up’ box office for the Ventnor Fringe in 2014, it’s now become a permanent venue open all year round. We wanted to create the kind of place we would love to spend time in; filled with all of our favourite things. From decent coffee to tasty cocktails and the largest selection of craft beer on the Island. Our space also doubles up as a record shop, with an ever rotating selection of both new and second hand releases. In the evenings we often host live events including a cracking programme of award winning theatre, comedy and cabaret. It’s a space open to people of all generations and backgrounds to learn, laugh and be together.

Huge Congratulations to Rina Syeda, Brave Island's Young Artist of the Year for 2026! Here she is collecting the fabulous award created by KReative Studios 🏆

Rina told us that with this piece she "tried to capture that feeling of growing up and no longer knowing who you are through the distortion of facial features."

You can see Rina's work, alongside the work of many other talented young people at the Clayden Gallery at Quay Arts everyday until Sat 14th November.

Aged 14-25? Sign up to Ventnor Exchange's Brave Island to access free opportunities and events every week!

This week we were honoured to welcome Jenny, Arthur, Denise & Maggie, who used to work together when our building was the Telephone Exchange. ☎️

The 1971 picture is the final day of operation of what was then the last manual telephone exchange on the Island.

They met to contribute their stories and memories to Ventnor Calling, a project that aims to preserve the K6 Telephone Box on the street. Give them a follow to see how the project progresses.
