More than just music…

If you haven’t been to this mini festival before , then What sets SouthernSundown apart is its strong family focus. Alongside the music, there’ll be a dedicated family zone where kids can run wild, get creative and enjoy free activities, shows and crafts all weekend long – including the brilliant Pixel Free Play setup, which proved a huge hit last year.

Whether you’re dancing with your little ones, soaking up the sea air with friends or relaxing with a pint in hand as the sun dips over the Bristol Channel, there’s something for everyone at Sundown.
