FEATURED FESTIVAL:

Branscombe Festival 25th - 27th July 2014

The stunning Devonshire village of Branscombe once again plays host to some of the world’s top musicians when the Branscombe Festival returns on Friday 25 – Sunday 27 July 2014.

A hog roast will also be on offer to audience members on the Saturday evening and the Festival culminates in a FREE concert on Branscombe beach by the Band of the Royal Marines.

National Lifeboat Institution with a donation of 50p from every ticket sold.

Last year’s festival was a runaway success with the Sidmouth Herald stating that “a magical atmosphere lingered delightfully over the village of Branscombe last weekend as the inaugural Branscombe Festival blossomed into glorious full flower.”

We’re looking forward to welcoming back some familiar faces from last year and hope that people from near and far will come to experience all that Branscombe Festival – and the surrounding area – has to offer.”

Curated by renowned pianist Iain Burnside and hosted by BBC Radio 3 broadcaster and journalist Petroc Trelawny, the 2014 Branscombe Festival supports the Royal
