Event: Dorset’s Music By The Sea Festival 2024

Date Event: 31st August 2024

Music By The Sea is a fantastic music festival that’s held each year in Swanage – with 2024 marking the fourth year of the festival! Last year, this music festival had a brilliant variety of act that performed, including the world-famous British band ‘Toploader’ who arguably is best known for the hit ‘Dancing in The Moonlight’.

We are awaiting updates for 2024 Dorset’s Music By The Sea Festival! We shall update this page as soon as information becomes available to us – in the meantime, please browse last year’s events:

As well as the fantastic line up of entertainment acts, there will also be a wide range of food and drink stalls available on the day – including refreshments from local businesses such as ‘The Isle of Wight Distillery‘, ‘Purbeck Cider‘ and ‘The Salt Pigg Too‘.

 

The festival is being hosted this year at the Prince Albert Gardens in Swanage between the hours of 12:00 pm to 20:00 pm.

Tickets start from £10 for adults. Children under the age of 14 can receive free tickets.

What our guests say

  • A lovely quiet site

    Andy Blackwell

    A lovely quiet site, nice warm amenities with good sized shower cubicles, shop not open yet as it’s too early but the local pub is ideal. Staff were very friendly and helpful. If you’re reasonably fit you can walk into Swanage but the bus service is great so why would you want to. Overall a very nice break, we will be back.

  • Super swimming pool

    Joseph Molford

    Fantastic site, we have had a brilliant holiday. Super swimming pool and changing facilities. Site really handy to get to Swanage and Studland. Will definitely return. Thanks to all the staff for a lovely holiday.

    Jenny H

    We have just returned back from our weeks stay at Ulwell Holiday Park with our 2 small children and dog. It was an absolute brilliant week! The site has everything you need, and more! A lovely comfy pub on site for drinks and a bowl of chips, a small shop, swimming pool, large play are with park, and the bus stops right outside.. what more could you want

  • Easter break

    Mit

    We have just returned after a brilliant Easter break. Couldn’t fault anything at all and we didn’t want to leave. We didn’t visit the pub but the shop is stocked with local produce and essentials. The facilities are great and the location convenient. Our van was spotless and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back
