Boardmasters Festival in Cornwall
From 6-10 August 2025, along the cliff path from Watergate Bay, you'll find the UK's biggest surf and music festival.
Boardmasters is back for 2025 and bigger than ever.

A shuttle will be running from Watergate Bay to Fistral, so those visiting the main festival, can head over from the campsite to take part in everything going on.
Everyone is welcome to watch the pro's battle it out to win the Boardmasters trophy and to soak up the good vibes. All competitions are free for spectators to watch.
Competition categories

Tickets are still available from the Boardmasters website, including day tickets and camping. But act fast, tickets are selling out by the day.
