Dartmouth Music Festival 2025

For 3 days every May, Dartmouth becomes Music Central and in the last 21 years Dartmouth have had acts play in numerous unique venues such as an ancient fort, an 11th Century Church, a naval college, a floating stage and an orchard. The festival has grown to the point where they have over a hundred acts playing everywhere from their main Bandstand stage to many of their wonderful pubs, cafes, bars and hotels.

The ethos of DMF is “Music for All” and they mean this for both performers and audiences. They have acts from all over Great Britain and abroad as well as giving a stage to local talent. Classical and contemporary music sit together, and they try to include as many genres as possible in their line ups. ALL performances and workshops are free to attend and are within walking distance throughout the town. You can wander around the lovely streets and riverside soaking up the atmosphere, visit as many venues as you can possibly manage, or relax with a picnic in Avenue Gardens and enjoy the best this unique little festival has to offer.
