There is always something going on in Swanage and the idea that the town is a quiet backwater is far from the truth.

There are numerous festivals from music to pirates, a whole week devoted to celebrating the Swanage RNLI, and a fortnight of festivities for Purbeck Arts and Purbeck Film.

The biggest week in the Swanage calendar is, of course, the Swanage Carnival, which is one long beach party with music, competitions and fireworks!

In between the big festivals, there are numerous events throughout the year, in fact so many that it’s hard to keep track. That’s why Swanage Events aims to keep you right up to date.
