Future Isle of Wight Sustainability & Innovation Fair

Join us on Wednesday 5 August 2026 at the historic Isle of Wight Steam Railway in Havenstreet for the Island’s most exciting new event focused on sustainability, innovation and real-world solutions.

The Future Isle of Wight Sustainability & Innovation Fair brings together local experts, suppliers and community organisations to showcase the technologies, ideas and support available to help the Island move toward a more energy-efficient future.

Rather than a traditional exhibition, the Fair is designed as an interactive experience where visitors can explore solutions, ask questions, and learn how to make practical improvements to their homes or businesses.

What you’ll discover

Throughout the day you’ll be able to explore a wide range of technologies and solutions designed to help cut energy use and reduce costs.

The Fair is designed for anyone interested in saving energy and improving their property, including:

  • Homeowners looking to lower energy bills
  • Landlords considering property upgrades
  • Local businesses exploring energy efficiency
  • Community groups and local decision-makers

Technologies on display

  • Home insulation and energy-efficient building upgrades
  • Solar panels, battery storage and renewable energy systems
  • Heat pumps and low-carbon heating technologies
  • Smart home energy monitoring and control systems

Whether you’re planning improvements now or just exploring ideas, the event will provide clear advice and practical inspiration.
