Set sail for a free weekend of adventure, culture and coastal celebration in the heart of Swansea’s Maritime Quarter on 8 - 9 August! 

Swansea Sea Festival promises a fun and immersive way to discover and celebrate our rich maritime history through interactive family activities, heritage displays, live entertainment, and much more, shining a light on the people, stories and industries that shaped our city. Join us and experience Swansea at its very best, by the sea!

From the small medieval quayside through the industrial revolution’s development of several large docks, servicing a once flourishing copper smelting industry, to the vibrant waterfront city we see today, Swansea’s story has been shaped by the sea.  

Taking place in Swansea’s Museum Park and adjacent Marina including the National Waterfront Museum, with live music in Swansea Amphitheatre, activities and workshops from National Waterfront Museum, Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea Museum, Dylan Thomas Centre, Mission Gallery and The Environment Centre, and a live music stroller programme in The Pumphouse, The Queens, The Swigg and The Copper Jack – and it’s all free!

Swansea Sea Festival brings that story to life with a packed programme of live entertainment, family-friendly activities, and unforgettable experiences along the city’s waterfront. 

Trade stands also available! 

Trade stand applications are open too if you want to be a part of this great event – find out more and apply online
