Event Details
After over 30 years sailing the seven seas and having seen pretty much all the world has to offer, Stokey chose to put down his roots in Ventnor in the Isle of Wight which is a pretty big endorsement for the town! From here he plans routes for trans-Atlantic sailors and teaches courses in navigation and ocean sailing and shares his love of the heavens with locals through his popular Solar Walk & ‘Wonders of the Universe’ courses.
The Solar walk is laid out on a 1,000-yard scale, where 1 inch represents 100,000 miles. The meeting point is Bonchurch Pottery, the start of the walk will be from a scaled model of the Sun and finish at Pluto close to the Seapot café along the revetment. The distance is 1,019 paces, the equivalent of 3,666,000,000 miles! Each planet passed along the way Stokey you will entertain and explain some fun and interesting facts and figures about each of them as well as the workings of our own planet Earth in relationship to the Sun.

Event Details
During the Ventnor Fringe in July 2022, Stephan Roman, author of Isle and Empires, will be leading four guided walks around Ventnor in collaboration with staff from the Ventnor Heritage Museum and with the support of Medina Publishing. These walks will explore the fascinating story of Ventnor’s connection with many of the nineteenth century Russian radicals, writers and poets who opposed Russian imperialism and laid the foundations for the Russian Revolution of 1917. Between 1855-1888 Ventnor became a laboratory for an alternative liberal Russia, and many of the political and literary ideas developed in those years would eventually contribute to the destruction of the Romanov Imperial regime.
The walk will also cover the history of Ventnor in the nineteenth century and explain why it became such a fashionable summer retreat for people from all over Britain and Europe. The walk begins in front of the Winter Gardens and ends at the Ventnor Heritage Museum. It lasts two hours and includes a short steep section of hill walking and so is not suitable for people with disability issues. An updated edition of Stephan Roman’s popular book Isle and Empires : Romanov Russia, Britain and the Isle of Wight was published by Medina Publishing in April 2022. The author ran a series of walks at last year’s Fringe, and these were all over subscribed. Please make sure that you book early to secure tickets for the 2022 walks. Tickets will be sold through the Fringe Office. Copies of the new updated edition of the book are available from the Ventnor Heritage Museum and also from Medina Publishing and Bookshop in Cowes www.medinabookshop.com
Start: 10.30am Winter Gardens foyer
Finish: 12:30 approx Ventnor Heritage Museum. Copies of the new 2022 edition of Stephan Roman’s book Isle and Empires: Romanov Russia, Britain and the Isle of Wight are available to buy from the Heritage Museum.

Event Details
During the Ventnor Fringe in July 2022, Stephan Roman, author of Isle and Empires, will be leading four guided walks around Ventnor in collaboration with staff from the Ventnor Heritage Museum and with the support of Medina Publishing. These walks will explore the fascinating story of Ventnor’s connection with many of the nineteenth century Russian radicals, writers and poets who opposed Russian imperialism and laid the foundations for the Russian Revolution of 1917. Between 1855-1888 Ventnor became a laboratory for an alternative liberal Russia, and many of the political and literary ideas developed in those years would eventually contribute to the destruction of the Romanov Imperial regime.
The walk will also cover the history of Ventnor in the nineteenth century and explain why it became such a fashionable summer retreat for people from all over Britain and Europe. The walk begins in front of the Winter Gardens and ends at the Ventnor Heritage Museum. It lasts two hours and includes a short steep section of hill walking and so is not suitable for people with disability issues. An updated edition of Stephan Roman’s popular book Isle and Empires : Romanov Russia, Britain and the Isle of Wight was published by Medina Publishing in April 2022. The author ran a series of walks at last year’s Fringe, and these were all over subscribed. Please make sure that you book early to secure tickets for the 2022 walks. Tickets will be sold through the Fringe Office. Copies of the new updated edition of the book are available from the Ventnor Heritage Museum and also from Medina Publishing and Bookshop in Cowes www.medinabookshop.com
Start: 10.30am Winter Gardens foyer
Finish: 12:30 approx Ventnor Heritage Museum. Copies of the new 2022 edition of Stephan Roman’s book Isle and Empires: Romanov Russia, Britain and the Isle of Wight are available to buy from the Heritage Museum.

After over 30 years sailing the seven seas and having seen pretty much all the world has to offer, Stokey chose to put down his roots in Ventnor in the Isle of Wight which is a pretty big endorsement for the town! From here he plans routes for trans-Atlantic sailors and teaches courses in navigation and ocean sailing and shares his love of the heavens with locals through his popular Solar Walk & ‘Wonders of the Universe’ courses.
The Solar walk is laid out on a 1,000-yard scale, where 1 inch represents 100,000 miles. The meeting point is Bonchurch Pottery, the start of the walk will be from a scaled model of the Sun and finish at Pluto close to the Seapot café along the revetment. The distance is 1,019 paces, the equivalent of 3,666,000,000 miles! Each planet passed along the way Stokey you will entertain and explain some fun and interesting facts and figures about each of them as well as the workings of our own planet Earth in relationship to the Sun.
