Brading

The main street of Brading contains most of the facilities expected of a large village, or in Brading’s case, small town. There are three pubs; The Bugle Inn where the sea almost met the High Street when Brading Haven was a major port, the Wheatsheaf Inn which faces the Bull Ring, and one at nearby Yarbridge named the Yarbridge Inn which is famous for its selection of real ales. St. Mary’s Church, Brading is at the north end of the town and the Methodist chapel is near the centre. There is a small supermarket, a post office, a newsagents, several other specialist shops, at least three teashops and a fish and chip shop.

Brading has many attractions to tempt the visitor, quite apart from the natural beauty of the area. These include the famous Brading: The Experience (formerly the Isle of Wight Waxworks Museum); the Lilliput Doll and Toy Museum; The Roman Villa at Morton with its protective cover (new in 2004) and interpretation centre.

Have been coming to the island for several years and am due to come over again mid July
I go on line to find out about events and car boots/table top sales, but I dont find the information very helpful
I feel that the island should have a site which tells of all events, no matter how small
Just happened to walk from the Dinasaur Museum and came across a table top sale in the little pavillion nearby
Another time just happenned to pass a hall in Newport which were having a table top sale.
The islands hard working charities are losing out on income from visitors
