Quiz Night at The Binstead Arms

We’re having another of our Quiz Nights at The Binstead Arms on Tuesday 4th February 2025 starting at 7pm, but come early and enjoy a lovely meal and drink before we start.

Teams of up to 6 people, £2 per person and we’ll be doing a raffle as well.

Come along, have some fun, enjoy a lovely evening in a lovely pub and help Ryde Carnival raise some much needed funding so we can continue to put on the best Carnivals on The Island.

Island Carnival Memories

A wonderful website has been set up to show the memories of people who have been around the Island Carnivals for a very long time and it’s called Island Carnival Memories

A collection of reminiscences, stories and photographs contributed by Isle of Wight carnival people in a fascinating Oral History project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. It aims to share and celebrate the Island’s rich carnival heritage that has defined our popular culture for more than a century.
