‘Spring Windows’ intends to shine a light on Ryde’s High Street heritage.
As part of the Heritage Action Zone (HAZ) project, Shademakers UK, the New Carnival Company and Network Ryde with artists Teresa Grimaldi and Sarah Vardy have all created bespoke heritage-themed installations in High Street shop windows.

As previously reported by Isle of Wight Radio, three shops in Ryde High Street have turned parts of their windows into displays more at home in a museum of history.
