Turn the Tide 2027: The Giant of the Brook

Turn the Tide returns to Dawlish Lawn on Saturday 10 July 2027 for its sixth annual festival, bringing together wildlife, music, creativity and community action for a free, family-friendly celebration of our natural environment.

This year's theme, The Giant of the Brook, tells the story of an ancient Devon water giant whose strength has been weakened by pollution, climate change and the loss of nature. Through storytelling, art and community creativity, we'll explore how we can help restore the giant's strength and protect the waterways and wildlife that make Dawlish special.

The festival will celebrate the importance of our local rivers, brook and coastal habitats, highlighting the wildlife that depends on them and the small actions we can all take to protect our environment.

Visitors can look forward to a day of environmental activities, creative experiences and opportunities to connect with local organisations and community groups.

Held annually in Dawlish, Devon, Turn the Tide is a free community festival focused on climate, creativity, nature and local action.

The full programme for Turn the Tide Festival 2027 will be published in June 2027. Check back for details of activities, workshops and entertainment.
