Thursday 20th April 6-8pm: Monkton Arts, Ryde
Our first networking event of the year will be at Monkton Arts on Thu 20th April, 6-8pm. Monkton Arts is a community-based cafe and arts centre in Ryde, run by Dawn and Jenna (mother and daughter).
Formally a derelict building, Dawn and Jenna spent 8 weeks turning no 11 East Street, Ryde into a functional café, and in 2018, with the help of friends and family they achieved their goal. With the loyal support of their original customers they have built this new site into a very successful Arts, Café and Music Events Centre, now known as Monkton Arts. Dawn and Jenna’s journey to create a community hub around what is now affectionately known as 'Monkton Village', has gone from strength to strength. They operate a fully functioning café, art shop, galleries, artist studios and play host to a year-round series of lives arts events, exhibitions and activities.
Monkton Arts is a little tucked away, located on no 11 East Street, Ryde, PO33 1JP (toward the sea-end of Monkton Street) and opposite Acer Reclamation and Ryde Garage. Please walk, car share or use public transport where possible and note that parking is limited.
