Boojum&Snark is an innovative regeneration space on Sandown High Street that features a gallery , subculture events and community projects.

Boojum&Snark was originally made possible with a grant from the Coastal Community Fund in 2019.  Boojum became the Island’s first modern craft beer taproom but after 5 years we relocated our Brewmagic kit to Goddards now PowderMonkey. We now focus on exhibitions and placemaking projects that resonate with the town’s cultural heritage, as well as SubculturecluB events. 

 


“Through our projects, we’ve been instrumental in placing Sandown firmly on the cultural map.  The JUST THE PLACE and Hats off to Sandown exhibitions were a testament to this, bringing our placemaking vision to life at the Quay Arts Centre.” Tracy Mikich

"Boojum and Snark is unique, it's a bar, an arts hub and a museum. It's a brilliantly quirky idea, well executed, and taps into Sandown"s important cultural and artistic past and present. It's originality would make Lewis Carroll, author of the Hunting of the Snark, proud."

Just the place for a Snark!

Our name is a reference by the Lewis Carroll poem 'The Hunting of The Snark', which he penned while staying in Sandown
