About

Set against the stunning backdrop of Mudeford Quay, the Mudeford Arts Festival returns for a weekend of creativity, live entertainment, shopping, and family-friendly fun by the sea.

This long-running South Coast festival brings together artists, makers, performers, and local food producers for two days of celebration and community spirit. Visitors can browse a wide variety of artwork, handcrafted gifts, jewellery, sculpture, and decorative crafts while meeting talented local creatives.

Throughout the weekend, enjoy live music and dance performances on the green, along with demonstrations and interactive activities where visitors can try their hand at different artistic techniques and crafts.

Families are well catered for, with children’s art activities designed to encourage creativity and hands-on fun in a relaxed outdoor setting.

A selection of food stalls and refreshment vendors will also be on site, serving everything from handmade savoury dishes and sweet treats to barista coffee and ice cream.

Whether you are looking for unique artwork, a relaxing day by the water, or a lively family outing, the Mudeford Arts Festival offers a wonderful summer atmosphere in one of Dorset’s most scenic coastal locations.
