ST OSYTH SUMMER SOUNDs
A FREE MUSIC AND FOOD FESTIVAL FOR ALL
This year, the festival is free, thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund. We believe live music, great food and community should be open to everyone, and our ambition is to keep the festival free forever (if we can make it work).
If you’re in a position to support us, every contribution makes a real difference. You can make a one–off donation, or if you feel able you can commit to an annual gift to help secure the festival’s future. All money raised is spent directly on running and improving the festival.
Our 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. Alongside world‑class performances, we will highlight the work of local charities and services, ensuring the festival delivers broad social impact.
Arts Trust, the charity behind the festival, is a registered charity regulated by the Charity Commission, and we rely on sponsorships and donations to sustain this community‑led event and keep it accessible for all.
