This year’s ANRAN Fest has something for everyone! Our musical acts cover genres ranging from classical to jazz to samba. A mouth-watering feast of flavours await at our Asian Food Street. We also have loads of fun activities lined up for your little ones as well as dogs!
You can purchase all-access or single-day tickets, or tickets for specific music or food events.
Profits from this year’s ANRAN Fest will benefit charities who help children and young people in need. This will include Cancer Research UK for Children & Young People and Children’s Hospice South West, which provide support for terminally ill children, Rowcroft Hospice which provides care and support for patients with life-limiting illnesses, as well as Veterans with Dogs, a war veterans charity that provides mental health support for service personnel who have returned from Afghanistan and Iraq.
The three-day ANRÁN Fest is running from 29 to 31 July and combines Asian street food with a diverse festival line-up of music spanning classical, jazz and folk music alongside popular music such as 80s cover bands. Highlights include:

- Classical pieces by Mozart and Beethoven performed by the Torbay Symphony Orchestra accompanied by piano soloist Di Xiao
- ABBA, Queen and Shirley Bassey tribute bands
- Local acts including JAR, Broadband, La Vie en Rose, Skedaddle and Zum Zum
