Loving the Beach Festival

Celebrate the start of summer on one of Britain’s most beautiful beaches. The Venus Company is excited to announce the launch of their first ever Beach festival, taking place at Blackpool Sands, Devon, on Saturday 8^th July, opening from 8.30am until 11pm.

‘Loving the Beach Fest’ is set to be the new must attend festival of the season and s perfect for all the family. As well as a wide repertoire of music, there will also be lots of other entertainment. The philosophy behind the festival is to try and educate people about caring for the beach so whilst it’s very much about having fun and celebrating the beach, it’s also about looking after it at the same time.

Loving the Beach Festival

Festival goers can expect to see performances from both local and London bands who will be getting crowds up and dancing with a mix of musical entertainment.

We have been extremely fortunate to have secured legendary headline act ‘Saloon Star’ as well as two superb local bands, ‘Mafia 4’ and ‘Three Bags Full'.

‘Saloon Star’ plays everything from swing and country to blues, funk, reggae and pop with some rock thrown in for good measure. They will be hitting the stage for the first of their three sets at 5pm by which time the crowd will be well and truly in the party spirit, having already enjoyed the sounds of  ‘Mafia 4’ and ‘Three Bags Full’.

Enjoy delicious local food and drink available from Venus café and takeaway* and the Bays Brewery drinks tent, plus a whole host of activities. Children will be kept entertained with traditional Punch & Judy shows and treasure hunts and demos from charities supporting the event: RNLI, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Marine Conservation Society and the Devon Wildlife Trust,.

The music starts at 12pm but the fun starts when the doors open at 8.30am.
