The Isle of Wight Mardi Gras, held in Ryde every last Saturday in June, is a flagship event which showcases the very best of children and young people’s carnival experience through learning, creating and performance.

The theme this year is "All the World’s A Stage" and is part of the Shakespeare's 400th anniversary celebrations.

Research and learning about the theme underpins the design of each costume section, contributed to by the young people themselves and made in creative workshops led by teachers, parents and volunteers.
