The sea is definitely calling at this year's Marine and Green themed Sidmouth Sea Fest - Saturday 16th May at Connaught Gardens.  Step into this immersive festival experience and you may encounter a shark, swim through seaweed, hear a mermaid tell her tale.  Wind your way through the Discovery Trail and who knows what may be lurking - perhaps a giant octopus!

Join us for a fantastic fun filled day for all the family, with art workshops, craft stalls, music and dance - there is something for everyone.  Check out the Main Stage in the Arena, clock in at the Clocktower stage for some acoustic vibes or strut your stuff down by the Clamship DJ booth. 

This year is all about Action, Agency and Hope - for a cleaner, greener environment and clearer plastic free waters - help us to make our Marine and Green Charter - share your pledge to help the environment and add to our giant paper chain to share the love and spread the word, looking after our seas and planet together.

It's not just the Saturday with a fantastic free line-up - but we kick-off with our Sea Fest Party - Friday Night Fundraiser which helps to fund the free community day - doors open 4pm to 11pm tickets are available Buy tickets – Sidmouth Sea Fest 2026 - Party Night! – Connaught Gardens
