AWEN Cultural Trust's popular Seascape family festival is returning with a packed programme of free outdoor performances in Porthcawl.

Line-up revealed for festival's return to Porthcawl

The aim of Seascape, which takes place on Saturday, May 31, and Sunday, June 1, is to provide the local community and visitors with an exciting schedule of high-quality creative "pop-up" cultural events to enjoy while the town's Grand Pavilion is closed for its multi-million-pound redevelopment, and provide accessible arts experiences for all ages.

On May 31, live music will be provided by the Rock Choir, indie duo Lonely Tourist and The Old Time Sailors, a lively 20-piece sea shanty band. Rock-infused soulful reggae band Captain Accident will headline at Cosy Corner.

On June 1, the live music programme at Cosy Corner includes a performance by Bridgend Youth Theatre members and Osian Meilir's Welsh folk dance inspired production of Mari Ha! Party band The Pandas will headline.

Visitors can also expect a visual spectacle at Griffin Park - a new location for 2025 - with Splatch Productions' outdoor circus performance Strange Weather on the Saturday and Fish Boy by 2Faced Dance on the Sunday.
