Located in Ventnor’s former Victorian Post Office building, Ventnor Exchange is a pioneering arts organisation - a social enterprise with profits used to fund projects on the island. They run the annual summer Ventnor Fringe Festival and support young people in the arts and creative industries. The Exchange building in Church Street is a multi use space combining coffee shop, record store and beer & cocktail bar with regular music and creative events in the evenings.

Ingrams Yard, also in Ventnor is a new venture for the Exchange. A former builders yard and offices, it will eventually provide artists studios and an event space. The yard is already up and running as a Saturday market with stalls and a coffee shop.
