St Osyth Summer Sounds 2026

In 2026, the festival will be free, thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund.

The aim is to establish St Osyth Summer Sounds as Essex’s largest free music and food festival, rooted in a Farm to Fork ethos and championing local producers, artists and craft makers.

Arts Trust, the charity behind the festival, is a registered charity regulated by the Charity Commission, and they rely on sponsorships and donations to sustain this community‑led event and keep it accessible for all.
