Coastal Community Celebration
The Sidmouth Sea Fest vision is the staging of an annual event that celebrates the sea and our coast and the vibrant community of this very special place.
Sidmouth Sea Fest is about the community working and celebrating together, promoting environmental awareness and actions that value our marine and coastal environment.
Sea Fest is a shared platform for community groups encouraging a spirit of shared place, drawing on the knowledge and skills of others to enhance what happens locally.
We invite local clubs, enterprises, schools and the public to an annual event that showcases the activities, heritage and education connected to the sea and coast that Sidmouth offers to local people and visitors.
Through this, we aim to preserve, encourage and advocate;
- Community cohesion, participation and inclusion
- Education & Heritage
- Maritime & Fisheries
- Employment, Training & Apprenticeships
- The Arts
- Responsible Tourism
- Sustainability and the Environment
