welcome to seahouses festival
Welcome to the Seahouses Festival website. The Seahouses Festival began in 1999 and has evolved into an exciting, multi-faceted, programme of entertainment and events, based in several different parts of this bustling harbour town.

Set within the spectacular Northumberland coastal landscape, Seahouses is nowadays famous as the departure point for boats to the Farne Islands nature reserve, and as a sea-activity centre.

Spectators can view events on the natural amphitheatre of Harbour Hill against the backdrop of the colourful harbour and the Islands - one of the most unique and attractive Festival stages anywhere in the UK!

This year’s Festival celebrates the natural environment of our area - the beautiful North Northumberland coastline, wildlife and maritime heritage. Community groups, artists and historians work with the local people throughout the year on a variety of projects and events which culminate in the festival weekend.

There are a wide range of events and performers – with music, dance, food, children’s events, workshops, talks, art and film– it all makes for an entertaining, educational and action-packed weekend.

Most of the Festival programme is free, although some of the events do have a small cover charge. Parking is available, and there’s a wide variety of accommodation to suit all budgets. Treat yourself to a weekend at Seahouses Festival, and we’ll look forward to welcoming you to our lovely village by the sea.
