What is Tunes in the Dunes?
It’s a brand new festival, set on the beautiful golden sands of Perranporth beach in Cornwall. With a back drop of scenic cliffs and sand dunes, this will be a truly unique event where you can enjoy an ice cold beverage with your feet in the sand and the ocean only a stone’s throw away.
Born from the incredible live music that has been happening at The Watering Hole, the UK’s only venue on a beach, we sit back and prepare to be taken away by the magic that Tommy Job can bring to us this year for the festivals 3rd year… This is a one of a kind event for Perranporth, not to be missed. The event will take place on the 30th June – 2nd July 2017.
Major headline acts will be getting announced over the lead up to the event and also a swell board competition will be taking place in conjunction with Tunes in the Dunes. Going into its 3rd year, we will have added 2 extra stages, a waterslide & many more surprises to add to the ultimate festival experience.
The Beach
With three miles of golden sands, Perranporth beach is a spectacular playground for the whole family. Take a surf in some of the best waves in the country or swim in the natural tidal pool at Chapel Rock. It’s the perfect place to watch the sun go down at the end of the day!
The best hangout spot has got to be the UK’s only bar on the beach, currently ranked in the top 10 beach bars in the world, The Watering Hole! Why not chill outside on the benches overlooking the Atlantic ocean gazing over one of the best views in the world. Check out the legend stage outside where you can enjoy an ice cold beverage and some amazing beach BBQ. Check it out – thewateringhole.co.uk
If you want to check out the best of the coast line, take a walk on one of Cornwall’s awesome coastal paths. Perranporth sits between St Agnes & Holywell which both offer scintillating views!
Camping
Due to the lack of local campsite availability, we are now offering a ticket option for campers and camper vans. We have secured a field opposite the Perranporth Aerodrome. Campsite tickets can now be purchased per person, plus the usual fee for entrance to the festival.
Facilities on the campsite will be very limited, however toilets, overnight security and lighting will be provided. There will be park and ride facilities running through the day for all campers. Please note, no fires, BBQs or music are permitted in the campsite. Tents and vehicles will be in separate fields.
The campsite is located at the top of st George’s hill overlooking the gorgeous valleys of Perranporth.There are 3 different fields, one for car parking, one for camping and one for campervans/mobile homes.
The campsite provides:
- Shuttle buses running continuously from mid-day to 3am between the beach (where the festival is) and the campsite.
- Showers, toilets & clean running water are provided
- 24 hour security
Parking
There will be two zones available for festival parking to avoid traffic congestion with the small town that we live in, to look after the best interests of this beautiful area we have. Please allow plenty of time to get to the festival taking into consideration any hold ups by leaving with plenty of time. There will be no available parking in Perranporth due to the high volume of traffic, so it is important to purchase these tickets in advance.
ZONE A – PERRANPORTH RUGBY CLUB
This will be suited mainly for people coming from Newquay and Goonhavern routes.
ZONE B – STATION ROAD CAR PARK
This will be suited mainly for people coming from Truro, St. Agnes and Threemilestone routes. We will be using the car park just behind Co-op.
Day Parking – £5
Please make sure you purchase the correct car park for the direction you will be traveling from. Signposts will mark the route to each relevant car park over the course of the event.
Please note, no cars are permitted to stay in the parking fields overnight.
