St. Anne’s on the Sea Music Festival Number 5

St. Anne’s on the Sea Music Festival returns to Ashton Gardens for another unforgettable August Bank Holiday celebration. Join us for a superb extended weekend of live music, great food and drink, with a fantastic community atmosphere. This local event has grown into a much‑loved highlight of the local calendar.

For 2026 the event takes place from Saturday 29th August through to Monday 31st August. We, once again, have a fabulous range of festival food and drink vendors covering all your needs. The event has always been an incredible experience, and we are always looking to build on that success. We encourage local businesses to join the vibe and create a ‘fringe’ feel around the town. Keep an eye out for live music at several local establishments once the music finishes on the Main stage and at the Introducing Stage.

So come down on August Bank Holiday Weekend to Ashton Gardens to enjoy this amazing FREE event.
