We have decided that the time has come to bring the party to an end.

Like many festivals, we have seen numbers decline over the last two years and are reluctant to significantly increase ticket prices or cut back on the programme in order to make the Festival sustainable. Instead, we would rather leave the stage on a high after an amazing final weekend.

The last 15 years have been a blast thanks to the many bands and DJs that have rocked the seafront, plus the traders who have supported the Festival, the Hi Tide who have hosted and everyone who has joined us over the years. Finally, and especially, thanks to Red and Lynda who made the magic happen.

You should never say never, but for the time being it’s Adios Amigos x
