The streets of Brixham were buzzing with the launch of the South West Sardine Festival – a lively celebration of the British sardine, the fishing community, and seaside summer fun. Inspired by the vibrant sardine festivals of Portugal and Spain, this brand new event was a full day of fantastic seafood, music, and community spirit.
What happened at the Sardine Festival 2025:
• Fresh sardines, cooked over fire by a brilliant line-up of guest chefs including Nathan Outlaw, Mitch Tonks, Mark Hix, Ben Tonks, and Kirk Gosden
• Live music and entertainment and bands throughout the day.
• A family-friendly vibe, with entertainers and activities to keep kids smiling.
• Festival wine, beer and refreshments.
This is a brilliant way to support our local fishing community, enjoy the freshest seafood in the country, and celebrate summer in true coastal style.
We look forward to support many more Sardine Festivals in the future
