Minehead Bay Festival 2026 Line Up Announced!

Music, Art, Circus, and much more!

We’re excited to reveal the lineup for Minehead Bay Festival 2026, returning to Minehead Seafront and Beach on Saturday, the 29th of August!

This year’s free event runs from 12 pm to 6 pm and brings together two live music stages, live street art, circus, storytelling, street food and bars, and so much more besides! Set against the stunning backdrop of Minehead Beach. There really is something for everyone.

Taking to the main stage this year are Dakka Skanks, Alcohol Licks, Nothing Concrete, Nick Parker, Sebastian Tesouro and St. Fian, promising a brilliant mix of sounds to keep your feet dancing all day long.

Beyond the main stage, there’s plenty more to explore. Minehead Samba and the Minehead Ukulele Group will be bringing the rhythm, while sea shanty groups and dance performances add to the festival atmosphere. Get creative at the East Quay art workshops, take on the skate ramp, join a wellbeing workshop, or wander through our Nature and Hope area to relax and connect.

Whether you’re coming for the music, the food, or the workshops, or simply want to soak up the brilliant atmosphere, there’s something for absolutely everyone at this year’s Minehead Bay Festival.

Mark your calendars, it’s completely free, and we can’t wait to see you there!
