We will have the Fish Kitchen, Prawn Cocktail Bar, Creativity on the Coast, Fish Hunt and more regulars back plus some exciting new announcements so keep checking back here.
The 2016 event kicks off with a very special fundraiser featuring 2015 headliners Gordie MacKeeman & His Rhythm Boys who return to Devon on Saturday 20th February for a one off show for Sea Fest as part of their new album tour. Get your tickets now – here!
Please note: Sea Fest 2016 is subject to licensing and funding. Because of very bad weather in 2015 we were unable to carry funds forward in the way we had hoped so are working to raise money to make this year’s event happen. So we may need to come round with the begging bowl soon and ask for your help!
If you would like to help us now then you can Donate via the button and/or become a Friend of Sidmouth Drill Hall at www.sidmouthdrillhall.com
