About Us

With more than 40 bands spread over a multitude of venues, this free festival on 31st July - 2nd August 2026 is not to be missed.  Spread across a variety of bars and venues in the town centre and with a centre stage at the Italian Gardens. 

Entry to all venues is free although donations into the charity buckets will be appreciated. Both the RNLI and The Lions Club will benefit from your kind donations.

In addition to the musicians, there will be pirate crews invading Weston-Super-Mare. Why not dress as your favourite pirate and join in the fun?!

And if you want the full authentic experience, groups like the Brave Marauders are great to watch because they come dressed in full pirate and seafaring costumes.
