After the incredible energy of our debut year, Porty Festival is back — and it’s going to be even bigger, brighter, and bolder!
From live music by the sea to local makers’ markets, including a young makers market, creative workshops, community events, the much loved dog competition, vintage clothing pop up, street food, family fun, and that unbeatable Porty atmosphere — this May bank holiday weekend is all about celebrating art, community, and seaside spirit.
Whether you’re here for the tunes, the treats, or just a good old wander along the prom, Porty Festival 2026 promises another unforgettable weekend filled with creativity, connection, and coastal magic!
