BROADSTAIRS FESTIVAL ON SUNDAY THE 9TH OF AUGUST 2026

Broadstairs Festival Day Trip – Sunday 9 August 2026

A lively summer seaside day out in Broadstairs, packed with music, performers, and a proper holiday atmosphere.

What to expect

You’re essentially stepping into a full-on coastal festival:

• Seafront entertainment
  Dancers performing along the promenade, with plenty going on as you stroll.
• Live music at the bandstands
  Multiple performances throughout the day – ideal for just sitting and soaking it all in.
• Craft & Music Fair at Victoria Gardens
  Browse artisan stalls, food stands, and enjoy more live music in a relaxed garden setting.
• Beach time
  Broadstairs is known for its golden sandy beach, perfect if the weather’s good.
• Food, drink, and atmosphere
  Expect:
  • Independent cafés and “quirky” spots
  • Bars and restaurants with live music
  • Street performers adding to the buzz

It’s very much a “do what you like” day—wander, sit, eat, listen, repeat.

Please note this event is not part of Folk Week with a specific show which would incur additional fees.
