In Cider Festival is returning to Sand Bay Holiday Village near Weston-super-Mare for its sixth edition on February 6-8, 2026, bringing festival vibes and winter entertainment to the Somerset seaside. The three-day indoor festival will feature a strong lineup of live acts alongside a packed programme of entertainment, with accommodation, catering and leisure facilities included in ticket packages.
The festival has secured an impressive billing headlined by She Drew The Gun on Saturday night, with additional performances from Beans On Toast, The Meffs, Rusty Shackle, Samantics, the Skimmity Hitchers, The Swamp Stomp String Band, Technicolour Steam Train, The Labourers, Slackrr, Flo & The Escape Lane, Kodachrome, and Clatters & Friends. A special surprise guest act will be announced in the coming weeks, adding further anticipation to the festival programme.
Weekend accommodation packages are available from £209 per person with half-board catering, though only twin and triple berth options remain available. Day and weekend tickets without accommodation are available from £42 per person, including an evening meal, whilst local music fans can purchase a three-day weekend ticket without accommodation for £118 including evening meal. All tickets and full event information are available through www.inciderfestival.com.
Situated on the beautiful Sand Bay shoreline—just a five-minute drive along the coast from Weston-super-Mare—the holiday park provides an ideal setting for the festival experience. Morning walks along the beach have become a popular part of the In Cider Festival tradition, with attendees making use of the venue’s games room and indoor swimming pool throughout the weekend.
Beyond live music, the festival programme includes karaoke, bingo, fancy dress competitions and other seaside entertainment activities. Kev from event promoter Fuelled By Cider commented on the festival’s return: “At In Cider festival we turn winter into summer for one wild weekend! We’ve booked another line-up of top acts and can’t wait to see you all back at Sand Bay. Locals and day trippers are very welcome to come and join this fun and inclusive festival.”
The festival represents a key offering in the UK’s winter entertainment calendar, providing indoor festival entertainment during the quieter months when traditional summer festivals are not taking place. Both regular attendees and newcomers from the local area are encouraged to attend, with the festival positioned as an accessible and inclusive event suitable for all festival enthusiasts.
