Live music from the best local musicians, with food & drinks from your favourite local suppliers!

For one weekend the Banjo, Princess Gardens, becomes a mini festival village with outdoor bars, a BBQ, Hog Roast, Seafood Paella & a Vegan Kitchen! 

The story so far…

The Offshore & Bays Fest began its life as a one day charity event in 2013. The ethos has always been to give a platform to the best local musicians as well as our amazing local food and drinks suppliers, while raising money for lifesaving causes. Located on the harbourside outside the Offshore Bar & Restaurant our event steadily grew each year,  and then due to the incredible turnout for our event in 2024, the council gave us the green light to move our main stage around the corner to the Princess Gardens in 2025!  This larger space gave us the ability to have a bigger festival stage, bigger bars and more food outlets.

2025 proved that the new location on the Banjo, Princess Gardens, just around the corner from Offshore, works really well!  With encouragement & support from the English Riviera BID & Torbay Council we’ve been able to secure the extra day, ensuring that locals and visitors alike will be able to make a weekend of it! Remember there’s no camping, so please check out all the amazing independent hotels and B&Bs within walking distance of the seafront!

Please note, parking is limited around the harbour and marina, so if you live locally please consider public transport or walk. There are taxi ranks and bus stops nearby. Please do not bring drinks / picnics onto the site as if you do so, security have been instructed to look after for you until you leave.
