🗓️ Saturday 15th – Sunday 16th June 2024
Set in the grounds of Prince Albert Gardens, Swanage Fish Festival has become a firm favourite in the town’s early summer calendar.
Enjoy browsing the food stalls and sampling the very best of Dorset fish, seafood and drinks, with Swanage Bay as your backdrop. And learn some new tips and tricks with cookery demonstrations from local chefs.
This family-friendly festival is completely free and also has live music at the garden’s amphitheatre across the weekend.
You can help support the event by buying a raffle ticket or giving a donation on the day – charities the Fish Festival have donated proceeds to in the past include Swanage Lifeboat, the Fishermen’s Mission and the National Coastwatch Institution.
