SandFest

Whether you're a local looking for something special on your doorstep or planning a summer pilgrimage to Dorset, SandFest offers an experience that's as unique as the stunning location it calls home. This Poole-based beach festival transforms the already glamorous Sandbanks into a playground for music lovers and sun-seekers alike.

Started in 2017, SandFest is a one day boutique beach festival, headlined by some of the best global artists, and mainly featuring house music, drum and bass, rap and grime. The intimate capacity of 5,000 revellers means you're not fighting through endless crowds to catch a glimpse of your favourite artist, whilst the pristine golden sand and crystal-clear waters of the world famous Sandbanks Beach create a stunning natural amphitheatre.

SandFest takes place on 12th July 2026, with tickets now on sale.
