Dart Music Festival

Details

The Dart Music Festival began 25 years ago with a simple premise, to bring some great music into Dartmouth and provide a boost to the economy of the town after the long winter months. With this in mind the decision was made to keep the music at the heart of this beautiful riverside town and, lacking a theatre or arts centre at the time, an imaginative and diverse choice of venues was established.

For 3 days every May, Dartmouth becomes Music Central and in the last 21 years we 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 we have over a hundred acts playing everywhere from our main Bandstand stage to many of our wonderful pubs, cafes, bars and hotels.

The ethos of DMF is “Music for All” and we mean this for both performers and audiences. We 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 we try to include as many genres as possible in our line ups. ALL performances and workshops are free to attend and are within walking distance throughout the town. You can wander around our 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.
