last updated: Mon 21st Nov 2016

Since 1998 Show Of Hands' have been holding their annual Sub Tropical Seaside Festival. The family friendly folk festival features international acts and is held at Abbotsbury's Sub Tropical Gardens near Weymouth in July close to the Jurassic coast's Chesil Beach.

Concertgoers are invited to bring low-backed seating, rugs and picnics into the grounds - entry to the West Lawn area is from 1.30pm. The grounds open at 10am for those interested in looking round the magnificent 20-acre gardens (admission included in ticket price).

In 2012 the event was cancelled, then made a return. Last held in 2014.
