Spring Art & Garden Fair “Art Showcase” Booking Portal

2nd November - 18th April

Great news for Island Artists…booking is now open for the Island Art Showcase at the Spring Fair. Space will sell out so book early to avoid disappointment.

The Isle of Wight Spring Art & Garden Fair has become one of the busiest early season events on the Island and is a great opportunity for local artists to present and sell their works and associated merchandise.

With an estimated 5000 visitors in 2026, the Fair continues to grow in popularity and likely to be even busier in 2027.

The Fair will take place on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th April 2027 and will be open for visitors between 10am and 5pm daily.

The Art Showcase part of the event takes part inside Northwood House, with all the function rooms and hallways featuring exhibition stands from a range of talented, high quality Island artists.

To be an exhibitor at the Showcase, art work exhibited must be the artists own work and be from one of the following disciplines:

Painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics and photography.

Exhibition stands are only available in 2m and 4m pitch sizes.

Each 2m pitch will include the hire of a 1.8m trestle table and a black stretch cloth.

Artists should bring their own display stands and self-supporting back drops if they wish, but they must fit within the dimensions of the pitch. The depth of the pitch is no more than 1.5m including the 90cm wide trestle…allowing limited room to stand behind or build a display stand. Nothing should be attached to the structure of the building under any circumstances.

Please note pitches are only available for the entire two days. Bookings for single days only aren’t available, sorry.

Pitches are 2m in width inside one of the Northwood House function rooms, hallways or entry lobbies.

Indoor Single (2m x 1.5m) pitch fee: £130 for both days

Indoor Double (4m x 1.5m) pitch fee £240 for both days

Sorry, no bigger pitches are permitted unless by arrangement.

Each pitch booking comes with 2 exhibitor wristbands included. Others available at standard admission rates.

IMPORTANT: Booking process/permission to book a pitch:

You may only book an Art Showcase pitch here online if you have specifically exhibited in the Spring Fair Art Showcase between 2023 and 2026 (and have already been previously vetted).

If you have not exhibited at the Art Showcase before then you must first apply to the Northwood House Spring Fair management team by email before making a booking. Please do not book as a previous Christmas Fair exhibitor only. Get vetted first.

We reserve the right to cancel a booking and refund your payment if you haven’t done this, as we need to vet all Showcase bookings to guarantee the quality demanded by the event (sorry).

To apply, please email us with your name and the details of the art you want to showcase to: springfair@northwoodhouse.org and then wait for a confirmation to book.

Once you have permission, please use the booking section to complete your application, please make sure you read the event terms and conditions at the checkout.
