Live Music is in Our DNA

From local talent in our Bands on the Sands gigs and unbelievable tribute acts to being an
official Folk Week partner venue, live music is at the very heart of what we do.

Whether you’re grabbing a drink from the fully licensed bar in our Main Hall or soaking up open-air sets in our garden overlooking Viking Bay, there’s no better place on the coast to experience a concert.

Check out what’s coming up below and grab your tickets before they sell out!
