What to expect at South West Sardine Festival

On Sunday 3rd August 2025, the streets of Brixham will be buzzing with the launch of the South West Sardine Festival – a lively celebration of the British sardine, the fishing community, and seaside summer fun. Inspired by the vibrant sardine festivals of Portugal and Spain, this brand new event promises a full day of fantastic seafood, music, and community spirit.

What to expect at the Sardine Festival:

• Fresh sardines, cooked over fire by a brilliant line-up of guest chefs including Nathan Outlaw, Mitch Tonks, Mark Hix, Ben Tonks, and Kirk Gosden

• Live music and entertainment and bands throughout the day.

• A family-friendly vibe, with entertainers and activities to keep kids smiling.

• Festival wine, beer and refreshments.

Entry is free, but sardine and wine tokens are available to buy on the day.

This is a brilliant way to support our local fishing community, enjoy the freshest seafood in the country, and celebrate summer in true coastal style.
