We enrich people’s lives through the universal language and power of music!
We have been delighted to have presented the festival every year from 2022. The festival has been overwhelmingly positively received and attracts thousands of music fans and families to attend.
Our dynamic and wide-ranging programme of live music offers a wonderful choice and variety of music styles which includes, Jazz, Swing, Blues, Roots, Gospel, Soul, Funk, Latin, and Cuban music.
The festival programme includes World – Class ticketed headline concerts, exceptional outdoor music performances on a dedicated outdoor stage and fabulous live music at various fringe venues including hotels, restaurants, and pubs.
Our vision is to continue to bring wellbeing through the power of music; an artistic programme of quality, diversity and inclusivity that will engage the wider community, enhance tourism, and provide economic and cultural benefits to the beautiful town of Sidmouth, Devon, and the South West. We continue to build the festival organically by raising the bar higher each year to including new and exciting events that appeal to a wide cross section of the public, music lovers and families.
The 2025 festival promises to be a landmark year as we present an outstanding programme of incredible artistes, with the addition of a superb free educational programme which includes workshops, masterclasses, street music and an array of live performances. Accessibility and inclusion lay at the heart of our ethos with our vision to spread the learning, joy and positive benefits that music provides. We are a boutique festival by design and our ethos is quality over quantity.
