Tunes on the Sands
On 24th July 2026 to 25th July 2026
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
- Grand day out! - I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip, from the steam train to the ferry ride and of course, the boat trip. The designated seating and screens made me feel very safe. Well done!
- Excellent trip out - On recommendation from our hotel in Torquay we booked this and we were not disappointed. Steam train then ferry over to Dartmouth + a lovely river cruise for an hour included. We will visit again.
- Chugging along! - The cruise along the River Dart was delightful and the witty commentary was also very informative. The last leg on the steam train was fantastic - chugging along past the beautiful beaches with children waving to you from the sands. Just priceless! We had the most amazing day, the itinerary is done with military precision and is therefore relaxing and exciting - we really loved it. This has got to be a "must do" trip!
