What is Bands in the Sands?
A brand new series of events, set on the beautiful golden sands of Perranporth beach in Cornwall. With a sea view as a stunning backdrop, sand at your feet & the sun on your back, these events will be truly unique. Where else could you enjoy an ice cold beverage a stone's throw away from the majestic Atlantic ocean?
Born from the incredible live music that has been happening at The Watering Hole, the UK’s only venue on a beach and the organisers of Tunes in the Dunes festival. This is a first of its kind series of events in Perranporth, not to be missed.
Major headline acts will be getting announced over the lead up to the series of events. With national & international stars strutting their talents alongside sands where St Piran patrolled & Poldark novels were written.
Where are the events?
Bands in the Sands events are held at The Watering Hole, right on the beach at Perranporth - it doesn't get much better than that!
Need directions? Google maps can help!
