Isle of Wight line up announced for Ryde Big Beach Weekender

The event – inspired by Robin Hill’s Woodland Sessions and comprising three evenings of entertainment – will take place at Ryde’s Harbour Beach in July.

Boasting “exceptional talent in an exceptional setting”, its three shows will include stand-up comedy, a ‘90s beach party, and a night of dance music.

Big Beach Comedy kicks off the series on Thursday, July 11, with well-known comedians/comic actors Maisie Adam, Dylan Moran, Hal Cruttenden and Harriet Kemsley.
