SUMMARY:Chainsaw Sculpture Bidding Page (Spring Fair 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Would you love to own the incredible “Happy Hares” timber sculpture to be carved at the Isle of Wight Spring Art & Garden Fair by renowned Chainsaw Artist Paul Sivell? \nYou can now make an advance bid for the sculpture here online. This is a fantastic opportunity to get a unique timber sculpture for your garden that will last for several decades and be the envy of visitors and neighbours! And what a joyful piece of original artwork to own! \n \nPaul Sivell is nationally renowned chainsaw artist based on the Isle of Wight and his beautiful and unique nature carvings fetch many hundreds of pounds at auctions and sales. \nMore About Paul \nPaul is a self-taught wood sculptor based on the Isle of Wight. Most of his common working media are condemned\, dead or dying trees\, particularly those that are gnarled\, twisted or misshapen and have no economic value. Although his working methods are noisy and fuel consuming\, he considers himself to be an environmental artist as he creates art by recycling trees that would often otherwise end up in landfill. The majority of Paul’s work is site specific with themes that are inspired by nature\, local traditions and mythology. \n \nPaul career background is in forestry\, arboriculture and countryside management\, but he started experimenting with wood sculpture about 30 years ago. However\, it wasn’t until 15 years ago that he made his first public sculptures. The demand for his work has increased steadily since this time with both public and private commissions. Paul has worked throughout the UK\, with the exception of Northern Ireland\, and has also undertaken commissions in Europe\, America and Southern Turkey. \nSee Paul at work here at last years Fair on our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cq0cJBiMObM/ \nBidding Guide \nAs a guide\, the minimum sealed bid offer should generally be upwards of £750. This really only just covers the artists time\, fuel and timber over a three day period\, so lower bids would be deemed inadequate for a piece of original timber art.  At the 2023 Isle of Wight Spring Art & Garden Fair\, Paul carved an amazing sculpture named “The Fox and the Owl” which fetched £1500 at the auction at the end of the event and made an incredible addition to a local garden in Baring Road in Cowes. In 2024 Paul carved a sculpture featuring two squabbling Red Squirrels which fetched a similar price and now sits in pride of place in the owners Seaview garden. \nHow to make a sealed bid for “Happy Hares”: \nA non-disclosed reserve “minimum price” has been placed on the sculpture. The highest bid above the reserve price will be the winner. \nJust use the ticketing section below to simply change the ticket quantity to 1 (from 0) to allow you to fill out the required information and make a bid. \nPlease note online bidding closes at 3.30pm on Saturday 4th April 2026 at the end of the fair. Bids received after this time will be discounted\, sorry. \nIf you are the winner you will be contacted on that Saturday afternoon and will be requested to make payment prior to collection within 5 days. \nPayment will be made to Northwood House Charitable Trust Company Ltd  by BACS\, card or cash. \nYou will be responsible for organising the collection of the sculpture at your own cost as soon as practically possible. \nGood luck and happy bidding! \nTerms and conditions: \n\nYour bid is not retractable and is binding.\nBy making a sealed bid you agree to purchase the sculpture at the price you bid for it if you are the highest bidder at the end of the auction (subject to the reserve being met).\nDo not bid if you are unable to pay the sum you bid.\nYou  agree to the bidding process as listed above.\nYou understand that you cannot collect the sculpture until payment has been fully received by Northwood House Charitable Trust and until that time the sculpture remains the property of the charity.\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Spring Art & Garden Fair “Business & Trader” Information and Booking Portal (for trader information only)
DESCRIPTION:OUTDOOR PITCHES ONSALE UNTIL 22/03/2026 \nMARQUEE & ART SHOWCASE PITCHES ARE NOW SOLD OUT \n \nThe 2026 Isle of Wight Spring Art & Garden Fair returns back on its normal Easter time slot and will take place this year on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th April (Good Friday and Easter Saturday) and will be open for visitors between 10am and 5pm daily. \nThe Fair has become one of the busiest early season events on the Island and is a great opportunity for a huge range of quality Isle of Wight businesses to promote and sell their products and produce. \nWith an estimated 5000 visitors in 2025\, the Fair continues to grow in popularity with visitors and has become the leading early season outdoor event of the Island’s busy calendar.  The Easter weekend is normally considered to be the first  “get out of doors weekend” of the year and thus provides some great trading opportunities for a range of local and regional businesses who want to take part with many reporting this as one of their best events of the whole season. \n \nThe Fair of course has a specific focus on art and gardening and businesses who trade in to these sectors are particularly encouraged to take part. If you have an Island or mainland business selling anything relating to plants\, gardening and the great outdoors\, this is the event you have been waiting for! If you are an artist producing quality work good enough for an exhibition\, then step forward…we have an art showcase inside Northwood House that will be a super opportunity to promote and sell your work. \nOutside\, the Isle of Wight Spring Fair is perfect for everyone from plant nurseries and growers\, landscaping products and service providers\, and garden machinery dealerships\, to furniture\, clothing and other lifestyle businesses. What better way to start the new season than a show focusing on everything to do with the Island’s favourite pastime? It’s a great chance to activate promotions and show off a range of all your latest plants and products to a wide audience looking to not only see\, but buy! Island exhibitors will be joined by a range of horticultural based businesses from the mainland including a selection of RHS medal-winning plant nurseries. \n \nOf course\, it’s not just about gardening and high quality art. Producers and retailers of other quality items are welcome to attend over the weekend\, including makers of craft\, jewellery and local food (for take-home consumption\, though sampling is of course permitted!) with options to bring your own gazebo or book an all weather marquee. \nCharities and local organisations and businesses who want to promote themselves are also welcome to attend. The Fair also has a green business & eco section\, where businesses selling environmentally friendly products and services are welcome to attend\, including retailers of green energy systems and electric vehicles. It’s an eclectic mix\, with the emphasis always on quality\, making it very popular with visitors. \nThe two-day fair will be the first prime selling opportunity of the year. It will be one of the first main ‘Get Outdoors’ weekend of the season\, when customers are at their most eager to revamp their gardens and buy new items for the upcoming season. \n \nThe event will again  feature the Roots & Shoots Plants Talk Tent following its conception and popularity in 2025.  A range of national and local gardening speakers will come together in a fascinating programme of talks that are free for visitors to enjoy as part of the event. Businesses and individuals are welcome to put themselves forward if they would like to sponsor a talk or even do one themselves on an interesting garden-related subject. \nThe Fair is family friendly and free to enter for children 15 years old or younger. There will be some free kids craft activities as well as some Easter-related fun to keep everyone occupied. The popular Spring Fair Tea Tent will again provide a delightful range of lunches\, drinks\, cakes and afternoon teas and the Lawn Bar will be open with the chance to enjoy the first Pimm’s of the summer season! \nThe event will be staged  as ever on the lawns and within the grounds of Northwood House and Park\, now one of the Island’s leading event venues. The venue is managed by Northwood House Charitable Trust\, with proceeds from the event going to the charity. This will help to continue the ongoing restoration of this iconic Island building for future generations of Islanders to enjoy. \nGreat news…Island based exhibitors are now welcome to book…with all outdoor pitch prices held at the same as last year!\nThere’s lots to look forward to and exhibitors are now invited to take either an outdoor pitch for the event (providing their own shelters and gazebos)\, or in one of several all-weather marquees (provided by us\, no need to provide your own gazebo). \nAll weather marquees could be located on the lawns or in the park depending on the final show plan\, which isn’t plotted until all the pitch bookings are closed in early March. \nIn 2026 there are also options to hire your own individual small or medium sized frame marquee again from us which is exclusive for you to use at the fair which will be located on the main house lawns. \nPlease note artists who want to be part of the Art Showcase inside the venue should use the art booking portal (Click here)\, although of course artists are welcome to have a pitch outside or in a marquee too and should use this portal if that’s the preference. Be aware though that night times in spring can be damp and chilly and leaving art outside overnight in a marquee or gazebo really isn’t very advisable. \n \nPlease note pitches are only available for the entire two days. Bookings for single days only aren’t available\, sorry. \n \nAssume widest measurement is your selling frontage\, although bigger pitches maybe open on more than one side.  \nEven though we prefer exhibitors not to have their vehicles parked on their outside pitches\, if it is essential for storage or trading then exhibitors can do if they wish. But their pitch must be larger enough to do this\, and therefore no smaller than a 6m x 6m “Outside Square Pitch”. Please measure your vehicle to make sure you book a big enough pitch and still have enough room for retail items and a gazebo. You will not be able to encroach beyond your marked pitch boundary and this is strictly enforced. \nExhibitor vehicles will be parked nearby in the park for access if required. \nPitches rental fees are VAT exempt under our Charity status and thus exclude any VAT that can be reclaimed by VAT registered businesses. \nEach pitch booking comes with 2 exhibitor wristbands included. Others available at standard admission rates. \n  \nPlease use the booking section at the bottom of the page to complete your application and payment after reading the information below: \n  \nIsland exhibitor information for outside & marquee pitches / terms and conditions 2026 (sorry the boring bit!) \n(Note: we advise you to please copy and save this information digitally for your records) \nBy booking a pitch\, exhibitors agree to read\, understand  and abide by the terms and conditions stated below: \nPitch fees: \n1.

SUMMARY:The 2026 Isle of Wight Spring Art & Garden Fair
DESCRIPTION:2nd April update: \nOnline ticket sales have now closed for the event.  Our entrances and car park can take card and cash payments upon entry. \nWe look forward to seeing you this weekend…even with some showers in the forecast\, we have lot of undercover areas to dodge any rain!\nThe 2026 Isle of Wight Spring Art & Garden Fair  will be back at Northwood House & Park in its normal Easter time slot\, taking place this year on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th April (Good Friday and Easter Saturday) and will be open for visitors between 10am and 5pm daily. \nThis enormously popular event is always a highlight of the Isle of Wight’s Easter events calendar and the first major outdoor event of the year\, attracting many thousands of visitors over the two days. And with low ticket prices and free entry for all children 16..its not going to break the bank to come along and enjoy the spring sunshine (hopefully!) and the incredible array of exhibitors packed in to the house\, lawns  and parkland. \nThe Isle of Wight Spring Art & Garden Fair always brings together a fantastic collection of different exhibitors of all types\, including garden and plant nurseries from the Island and mainland who will be taking space on the lawns of our historic venue\, as well as a fantastic Island artist showcase inside the elegant rooms of the main house itself. Its a diverse and eclectic event which visitors love. \n \nIt’s great for gardening folk…with plants\, shrubs\, tools\, ironmongery\, landscaping products and other outdoor leisure products all on display over the two-day event.  Guest mainland exhibitors who normally exhibit at the large RHS mainland shows will be attendance selling the highest quality plant stock. Plus there’s a huge range of  other stands to see from artisan craft to local produce…all helping to make the perfect atmosphere that visitors love. \nThe Fair has grown into the Island’s most important public exhibition event for Island artists. You’ll see some incredible work on display in the Island Art Showcase inside Northwood House from some of the most talented and creative artists in their field\, whether its in painting\, photography and even sculpture.  There will be a live painting demonstration complete with some human models as subject matter running through the weekend\, where visitors can have a go at sketching and painting with tuition from experienced Island artists in situ. \n   \nThere’s always good vibes…The popular Northwood House Lawn Bar will be open over the weekend serving the first Pimm’s of the season. You can catch some relaxing live music with our popular Spring Fair resident duos JC & Angelina and Mike & Amy Joliffee. So kick back\, grab a glass of pinot and settle in for the afternoon. \nFollowing the introduction of the Red Funnel Roots & Shoots Plants Talk Tent in 2025 with a range of fantastic speakers that gardening and plant enthusiasts loved\, the tent will be returning in 2026 with an even bigger programme of free talks to enjoy. See below who we’ve got booked in for your listening pleasure\, but its certainly a new highlight of the Fair for many visitors! It’s going to be a busy tent and so we’ve added some VIP options for those who want to reserve a seat for a specific speaker which include a glass of wine or a hot drink and biscuits! \n \n \nA highlight of the event for many is the famous Spring Fair Tea Tent managed by the award-winning Northwood House Volunteers\, serving fresh sandwiches\, cakes and afternoon cream teas for everyone to enjoy. There will also be a range of tasty food from the food court on offer through out the weekend. \n \nIt’s Easter weekend and that wont go with out notice as we will have a free Easter Egg Trail for the kids around the event\, where everyone will get a prize for taking part. The event is always great fun for families…with kids under 16 coming in free. There’s also fun to be had in the Kid’s Creation Station with more free art and craft activities for the younger ones\, plus story telling and some seed planting thrown in for good measure.  And if you love dogs…watch the team from ‘BARKING MAD’ who’ll be demonstrating dog agility\, fly-ball and obedience training. Local legend David Randini will be here to entertain the children with his magic in the arena\, plus there will some incredible falconry displays from the SBW Raptors. \nYou can also see some incredible chainsaw sculpture carving taking over the two days\, where Paul Sivell will be crafting a beautiful timber sculpture into a work of art that will be available to auction. Click here for more information on the incredible Happy Hares design that will be created. 50% of the auction proceeds will be donated to Northwood House Chartable Trust to help our volunteers look after Northwood Park. \nLovers of old vehicles will love the special annual display by the Isle of Wight Vintage Tractor Club who’ll be showing off some of their prized old tractors and engines from yesteryear\, always a fabulous part of the Fair. Several of the Island’s best historic car clubs will be exhibiting too…along with some vehicles from the other end of the spectrum in our Electric Avenue\, showcasing an array of EV’s from local and regional dealerships. \n \nThe Spring Fair is sure to draw large crowds of visitors from across the Island over the new weekend date with craft and local food producers also in attendance\, as well as a range of other quality Island businesses and organisations. \nThe great news is that entry fee is the lowest on the Island for a large outdoor event\, so its won’t break the bank to come.
