The new festival will take place from 10am until 5pm on December 14 and 10am until 4pm on December 15 in the heart of Cowes, and will feature a special vintage Santa’s Grotto, the Cowes Carnival Float, street entertainment, a magician, sessions from Dazzle and Fizz kids’ parties, competitions, bouncy castles, live music plus lots more!

The Cowes Artisan Market is nearby and the festival will also incorporate the successful Cowes Food Show, welcoming the very best producers from across the Island to serve up tasty festive treats for visitors, along with produce to take home and cook up in their own kitchens – from organically grown tomatoes and oak-smoked garlic, to home grown Isle of Wight cheese. The show also includes cooking demonstrations, a bar selling winter warming Island ales, live music and children’s face painting.
