Events so far – Appledore Music Festival 2026
The 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 the world-class Appledore Book Festival.
The feedback from the 2025 festival was phenomenal. All the venues had more (and happier) people than usual. Special thanks to the Seagate Hotel for putting on Song Box buskers as this was something different and created a great atmosphere for the festival. It’s back in 2026!
The festival organisers (Russ, Louise, Adrian, Paul, Toby, Liz and Nick) would like to thank all the venues for putting on events and, especially, everyone who attends the events and helps make the festival truly special. Thank you!
And thanks too to all the musicians who play and sing their hearts out.
