Tunes in the Castle returns to Powderham for the most epic Bank Holiday celebration in the South West.

From 23rd - 25th May, the historic Powderham Castle in Exeter will be transformed into a musical and medieval playground with chart-topping headliners, unique immersive activities, and unforgettable festival energy.

Headlining across the weekend are McFly, Dizzee Rascal, and Blossoms, each bringing their signature sounds to the castle’s grand outdoor stage. Joining them on stage are an array of beloved UK acts including Scouting for Girls, Pixie Lott, Chris Moyles, The Wanted, The Royston Club, Sugarhill Gang, and Maximo Park. The newly announced full A–Z lineup features over 40 live acts spanning pop, indie, funk, tribute bands, and dance — from Jo Whiley and Ellie Sax, to Oh My God! It’s The Church, Norman Jay, and Chainska Brassika.

But Tunes in the Castle is more than just music — it's a weekend-long fantasy escape packed with whimsical, adventurous activities for all ages. Festival-goers can expect:

  • Medieval Jousting Shows with live-action battle reenactments and costumed knights
  • Silent Discos yoga
  • Morning Yoga Sessions overlooking the castle grounds
  • An Archery Range for those wanting to channel their inner Robin Hood
  • Jester School for kids and curious adults ready to learn tricks and tumbles

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of one of Devon’s most iconic heritage sites, Tunes in the Castle is a festival like no other — where music meets magic, and every corner offers a new experience to discover.
