Join Us for the Isle of Wight Biosphere Festival – July 5th

We’re excited to invite you to celebrate this year’s Isle of Wight Biosphere Festival with us on Saturday, 5th July at Brading Roman Villa!

As part of this Biosphere Festival, we’re hosting a special Sketching Workshop led by local artist Lucy Bell of sketching the Ancient Landscape. This two-hour session offers a chance to slow down, connect with nature, and capture the beautiful surroundings of the Villa through art. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced sketcher, all are welcome! Please book online.

After the workshop, enjoy a relaxing lunch at the Forum Café, with a variety of options available. You can also explore our free nature trail—a family-friendly trail in Villa’s stunning landscape.

No booking is required for the nature trail—just turn up on the day!


The museum will be open, and here’s some great news: with the purchase of a museum admission ticket, you’ll now receive unlimited entry for 12 months. Come back as often as you like to enjoy our exhibitions and everything the Villa has to offer—at no extra cost.

Dogs are welcome in our outdoor areas, but must be kept on a lead at all times.

Places for the workshop must be booked in advance. To book to www.bradingromanvilla.org.uk - What's On page

We look forward to welcoming you for a day of creativity, nature, and celebration!
