The 2025 Appledore Music Festival will run from Thursday 29 May to Monday 1 June.

The 2025 festival will be shorter than the 2024 festival, which ran over two weekends. It will be just as much fun, just more concentrated. Gigs will be announced here.

Watch out for a one-off Festival Ceilidh in the run-up to Christmas.

The Appledore Music Festival celebrates the huge range of musical talent around Appledore, North Devon. Appledore is a picturesque fishing village located at the mouth of the river Torridge, close to Bideford.

Now Appledore has its own music festival as well as a world-class book festival.

The music gigs, workshops and events all happen in Appledore’s pubs and clubs and on the quay between 29 May and 1 June 2025. Come and watch live music including blues, jazz, folk and a ceilidh too.

The events shown below are from the 2024 festival. We’ll publish 2025 events as soon as we have organised them. There’s also information on our Facebook group.
