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 we present a Citizen's Day celebration of the town, its people and the unique culture, heritage and diversity of the community of Seahouses and the surrounding area. 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, film, food, children’s art and nature workshops – it all makes for an entertaining, educational and action-packed weekend.

The Festival programme is free, although we do encourage donations. 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.
