Event Now Past
Tunes on the Sands
On 11th July 2025 to 12th July 2025
Born out of the incredible festival "Tunes in the Dunes" on Perranporth beach in Cornwall (that has seen artists such as Status Quo, John Newman, UB40 ft Ali, Astro & Mickey, Clean Bandit, Dizzee Rascal, the Waterboys, James Morrison, Billy Ocean + many more). This is a one of a kind event for Blackpool Sands in Devon and not to be missed.The event will take place in late July with camping provided. Major headline acts will be getting announced over the lead up to the event (but whisper it, Sister Sledge are among them). The ultimate festival experience.
Reviews
- Perfect day - We have done this several times over the years and is a fantastic day out. The steam train ride is great, but the cruise makes it. The commentary is very good and funny. Would definitely recommend this trip if in the area.
- Lovely trip - The steam railway train is brilliant, the iconic click-clacking of the train was enjoyable to listen to and and the train ride had stunning views. The short ferry was also lovely (only about a minute or two).
- Agatha Christie country - The ride on the train is beautiful right along the coast & Dart valley. You can also take your well behaved dog. I would highly recommend this excursion, we go every time that we are in Devon, it is not to be missed.
