What on earth is this place on the Isle of Wight...?

[HowSharperThan]

This is driving me mad. I am currently on holiday on the Isle of Wight and yesterday as I was scrolling through facebook prior to going to sleep, a targeted ad popped up, informing me about a particular shop / thing/ place on the island. I was very excited because it is a company/ brand/ thing I like very much but either didn't realise was a shop or only thought of as an online brand or something, and thought 'wonderful, must go there over the next day or two'. Then fell asleep.

Unfortunately, I now cannot for the life of me remember what this place was! Or even the vague details like 'clothing', 'toys', 'crafts'. I feel like I'm going barmy, and starting to wonder if it was actually just a dream...

I know this is a very long shot but does anyone have any ideas?! Googling 'weird shops isle of wight' has strangely not helped 😂.

That's shocking. My dreams are shattered.

My guesses would be;

Mermaid Bar at The Wishing Well pub - Mermaid Gin - Everyone raves about their gin but their Sea salt vodka is amazing too.
The Garlic Farm or the up coming Garlic Festival
Liz Earle shop in Ryde
Isle of Wight Fudge Company in Yarmouth - they have quite the following on TikTok now

These are the products that you’d normally think were more of an online presence but have actual shops on the Island.

The Christmas Imaginarium as someone mentioned above?

Jurassic Jim’s?

No!

Not so. they grow about 50 acres of the stuff on the farm and develop and sell.seed garlic for other growers also .... And they work with small suppliers and manufacturers across the island and the south of UK mostly to produce their sauces using their island grown garlic . They also have a fantastic restaurant ..

Romania I believe and also read the labels on the sauces, packed in various places around the UK or something like that!

I don’t think it’s Romania, some I think is grown in Provenance, France where they have a farm, some is grown on the Island. The garlic they grow on the island is organic. Their farm is organic and most produce used in their restaurant is now organic too, including their meat. It’s true a lot of their products aren’t manufactured on the Island, however they are manufactured using their garlic.

Why? Delicious samples, smells amazing, good shop, lots of delicious produce to buy and amazing cafe!

Where is op im desperate to know!

I immediately thought of that too!

I was quite surprised to see that the garlic doesn't all come from the farm. In quite small print it reveals that the garlic also comes from 'trusted' UK, Spanish and French providers....apparently because it's part of the allium family, you shouldn't plant garlic in the same spot for 7 years after harvest, so it all gets a bit tricky to grow.

You beat me to it! I was in a garden centre and casually picked up a black garlic box. Then my dreams were shattered and I put it back!

It's variable. Sometimes 25 acres, sometimes 50.

I think OP has fallen to sleep to dream about a mysterious shop in the IoW. Hopefully she will wake up with the answer.

The Hut at Colwell Bay?

Well the Op has pissed off

Is it Blackgang Chine? That's probably the IOW's weirdest place.

Is it something to do with Alpacas?

Looks lovely.

I think OP works for IoW tourist board 😀

Then please, please do what you can to reopen the Waltzing Waters.
