Overview
Next festival dates are 23rd to 26th May 2025.
Started in 2018, this small free festival has an emphasis on songs of, and relating, to the sea, and those who earned their living from and on it.
The 2024 festival is now over and we just want to put out a massive thank you to all the performers, volunteers, the stage crew, our suppliers and everyone behind the festival. We are of course exhausted but elated that it all went so well, the weather behaved itself, the audiences were great and we hope that we will have raised a decent amount for the NCI to enable them to continue providing the service they do at the Needles – we’ll find that out later.
This festival’s “Songs of the Sea from the Isle of Wight” is available for a free download.
A celebration of folk songs of the sea and the sailors who went about their business on it. On the green, Yarmouth, Isle of Wight
