The New Carnival Company are an integral part of Ryde Carnival and have been for many years. During the run-up to Carnival season, they run fantastic workshops for children and adults. These workshops involve the local community in creating the stunning costumes and props needed to take part in the carnivals.

During October 2021, I was lucky enough to be invited to document the naming ceremony of aa young boy named Artigan. A few years ago I had done the same for his big Sister Enya and I was very excited to return.
The Isle of Wight Festival returned in September 2021 following a one year break. With 2020 being the year of strange global pandemics, the festival unsurprisingly cancelled and many of us wistfully looked forward to a time when things may start to resemble ‘normality’ again.
Ventnor Fringe Festival 2021 made a triumphant return following 2020’s lockdown-infused-hiatus. Entertaining all with a solid ensemble of theatre, spoken word, music, poetry and circus antics, the Fringe team lit up the town of Ventnor (our hometown) with gusto.
The Muddy Bull Run is a Tough Mudder event. It takes place every year at Three Gates Farm in Calbourne, site of Rhythmtree Festival. Teams battle their way through woodland, past obstacles, under bridges and through streams on their choice of a 5km or 10km course. The competitors really enjoy the event even when cold and wet. For them it seems to be as much as the mud as it is the challenge!
Ventnor Fringe Festival takes place every August. The little seaside town of Ventnor becomes a vibrant , buzzing place. Music pours out from venues all over town, from the Harbourside Bar on the seafront, to Parkside high above.
Rhythmtree headliners have included Morcheeba, Robert Plant and The Stereo MCs, whilst the afternoon sounds have more of a World vibe.
We photograph at the Isle of Wight Festival for Kashmir Cafe, a stage run by a great team in aid of The Quay Arts Centre.
