Summer Sundays at the Bandstand

We're back for another season of free live music every Sunday at the Gorleston Bandstand, celebrating our 125th anniversary.

From May 24th through to the end of September, join us for a weekly mix of brilliant bands, local talent, and seaside favourites. Whether you pop down for a single set or stay all day, the Bandstand is the perfect place to soak up the summer by the sea.

Full 2026 Line Up 👇

What to expect:

  • Live music every Sunday - morning and afternoon performances
  • Deckchair hire - for those who want to settle in and relax
  • Traditional Punch & Judy - shows during the school summer holidays
  • Theatre bar open all day - serving drinks and refreshments

This year's season kicks off on Sunday 24th May and runs right through to Sunday 6th September.
