The Natural Seaton Festival is coming this July!
The event this year is taking place on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th July and has the theme of ‘The Sea’. This will be a community event with lots of free activities going on throughout the town. As well as the timed events below, we have children’s entertainment up on Cliff Field Gardens with an entertainer, a bouncy castle and bubble football on the 23rd and 24th starting at 10 am till 4 and in addition Animal HQ – the handling of exotic animals on the 23rd.
The Gateway Theatre are staging ‘Shipwreck Sam: Return to Ghost Wreck Island’ from Boo to a Goose Theatre on 23rd July at 3pm, which is a highly interactive children’s show with puppetry, singing, dancing and lots of fun. Please see the Gateway website for further details - https://www.thegatewayseaton.co.uk/whats-on/
In the town, there is a decorated window competition and a competition to find the ‘odd’ item in shop windows. Sheets can be obtained from Seaton Tramway Seaton Station or on the day from the information point on Tesco Plaza.
On Seaton Plaza, over the weekend, you will find a variety of stalls and on Thury Harcourt Place a wide selection of eateries and a bar to tempt any palate. Running times are 10.00 to 18.00 both days.
