The Big Beach Weekender

About

Exceptional talent in an exceptional setting!

The Woodland Sessions are back! But we've swapped the beautiful woodland location for our shows in 2021 & 2022, for an equally exceptional (but very different) setting.

The super soft sand of Ryde's Harbour Beach, right beside the marina and the Solent is our new home, complete with its stunning sunsets and superb travel links.

A new location means a new name (because obviously there's no woodland on the beach!) so welcome to a new beginning - welcome to THE BIG

BEACH WEEKENDER!
Quality will still seep through the veins of our unique series of outdoor concerts, so we won't be giving you what you want…we'll be giving you BETTER than you want!

Starting with the line up! We've 3 very distinct evenings for you to enjoy this summer, but all with the same simple guiding principle of "exceptional talent in an exceptional setting"
