Mudeford Arts Festival Returns This July

The much‑loved Mudeford Arts Festival is back on 25–26 July, bringing two full days of live entertainment, creativity and community spirit to the Green at Mudeford Quay.

Running from 11am to 5pm each day, the festival features a packed programme including a ukulele band, Bollywood‑style dancers, jazz musicians, soloists, a rock choir, children’s theatre groups and even a Tony Christie lookalike. Sunday’s headline act, the Wareham Whalers, will take to the stage at 1pm.

Visitors can explore more than 70 creative craft stalls, enjoy hands‑on demonstrations, vote in the local art competition and relax with refreshments from the church tea tent and a wide mix of food trucks.

The festival is run entirely by volunteers, with all profits this year supporting Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance and Macmillan Caring Locally.

A brilliant weekend for families, friends and visitors and a great way to support local arts.
