Guest blog - Summer Fest in Exmouth

Something special is happening in Exmouth every weekend this summer...

If you’ve wandered past the Pavilion Gardens on a sunny weekend lately, you’ve probably already heard it - the sound of live music drifting through the air, people laughing, kids dancing, and dogs lounging in the shade. It’s all part of the free live music event provided by Exmouth Pavilion, and it’s quickly becoming the highlight of the summer.

Every Saturday and Sunday, from June through August, the gardens come alive with brilliant bands, tribute acts, and the legendary DJ Rockin’ Lee warming things up an hour before showtime. It’s the kind of event that makes you feel lucky to live here - or wish you did.

What makes it even better? It’s completely free to enjoy. Just bring a blanket or grab a deckchair and settle in. And if the weather turns, the show simply moves indoors - no drama, just good music and good people.

These events are more than just a great day out. They bring the community together, give local performers a platform, and create a welcoming space for everyone - families, friends, and four-legged companions included. It’s the kind of thing that makes Exmouth feel like home.

And while the music’s free, grabbing a drink or a bite to eat from the Pavilion’s bar or café is a great way to show support and help keep the music playing for summers to come.
