Formerly the Older Persons Good Living Show, The Independent Living show is back, supported by Age UK Isle of Wight and will be held at GG's Riding centre in Newport. Between 11am - 3pm.
Showcasing island businesses and services sharing their advice, information and expertise on how people can live happily, independently and safely in their own homes
Last year, the High Sheriff, Graham Biss, attended the show and spent time meeting with all exhibitors and Right at Home Isle of Wight Owners, Vicky and Paul Butler.

Explore being with horses, learning from horses, and connecting with horses. Horses provide a quick, honest response to actions and behaviours, allowing the person to understand how their behaviour affects others. Through activities like leading, riding, and grooming, participants can see how their actions affect the horses.
