ABOUT US

Restore The Story CIC is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to uncovering, celebrating, and sharing the rich and often untold histories of the Isle of Wight. Founded and run by professional historians, researchers, and seasoned storytellers Steve and Jo, we bring the past to life through immersive tours, creative projects, and engaging exhibitions.
From hidden heritage to local legends, we work closely with communities across the Island to ensure that everyone has a chance to connect with the stories that shaped their surroundings. Whether it’s guiding visitors through time on our walking tours or curating exhibitions that reflect the island’s diverse heritage, our mission is simple: to put history back in the hands of the people.
At Restore The Story, we believe history isn’t just about dusty documents and old buildings—it’s about people, place, and purpose. And every story matters.
