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
- Delightful - The staff were all very friendly and the captain kept us entertained with his 'dad jokes' throughout. Recommend 100% for all ages. Great trip. Thank you.
- 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.
- Fantastic visit - We chose to do the steam train and river cruise and it was fantastic. The staff were very helpful. After using the ferry to cross the river we went to find somewhere to have a snack before getting onto the cruise. The commentary was brilliant and we were pointed out different landmarks throughout the cruise. Thank you Dartmouth Steam Railway.
