Founded in 2021 by Paul Darke and Joe Maxwell, Beach Fest was born from a shared passion for beach soccer and small sided football events.

What began as a beach soccer tournament has since evolved into a dynamic and large-scale music festival, now hosting events across two venues. In 2025, Beach Fest welcomed over 3,000 attendees to its flagship event in Skegness.

Looking ahead, Beach Fest aims to expand its footprint with additional locations, high-profile music acts, and increased participation in its beach soccer tournaments, continuing its mission to blend sport, music, and community into an unforgettable experience.

We’re deeply committed to respecting and preserving the beautiful beaches where we host our events. Our team takes great care to ensure every location is left cleaner and better than we found it. From dedicated clean-up crews to eco-friendly practices throughout our events, we go above and beyond to minimize our environmental impact.
