ABOUT US
Milford on Sea Music Festival is all about great music, good company, and celebrating our seaside community. Set in the heart of our village, the festival brings together local talent, visiting artists, and music lovers of all ages for a weekend that feels as welcoming as Milford itself.What started as a simple idea — sharing live music in a beautiful place — has grown into an annual highlight for the village.
From laid-back acoustic sets to upbeat bands that get everyone dancing, the festival is designed to be easy-going, inclusive, and fun. Whether you’re discovering a new favourite artist or just enjoying the atmosphere with friends and family, there’s something here for everyone.
Run by passionate volunteers and supported by local businesses, the Milford on Sea Music Festival is proudly community-led. We’re here to support live music, showcase talent, and create moments people look forward to year after year. Come for the music, stay for the vibe — and don’t forget to enjoy the sea air while you’re at it.
OUR CHARITIES
SUPPORTING LOCAL
Milford On Sea Music Festival has always aimed to support local charities and in 2025 we officially became a Community Interest Company (CIC).
"CICs are limited companies which operate to provide a benefit to the community they serve. The purpose of a CIC is primarily one of community benefit rather than private profit." ~ Gov.uk
What does this mean for you? Essentially, nothing has changed! It just means we're even more focused on giving back to Milford whether that be donating to charities (Milford On Sea Charitable Trust), supporting local arts projects or simply by putting on a damn good event!
