The Venus Company has announced that there will be a limited number of VIP tickets available for their first ever Beach Music festival, taking place at Blackpool Sands, Devon, on Saturday 8th July. Those lucky enough to get their hands on these coveted tickets will enjoy a fabulous three course meal created using locally-sourced produce and served up at their table right in front of the stage. The festival was recently featured in theguardian.com as one of the top coastal festivals of the summer.

Michael Smith, co-owner of The Venus Company, comments: “When you think of music festivals you might conjure up the image of fans wading through mud and elbowing through crowds for just a distant glimpse of their favourite band. When it came to planning Loving the Beach Music Festival, we decided to do things a little bit differently. Our VIP seats offer festival goers the chance to sit comfortably around a table and enjoy fantastic close up views of the bands. And, of course, VIP ticket holders will also enjoy a delicious meal from our award-winning restaurant. So whether you want to throw yourself into the crowds, find your own space to dance around on the beautiful Blackpool Sands beach or make yourself comfortable in the VIP area, the Loving the Beach Music Festival has the perfect festival experience for you.”

Set to be the new must attend festival of the season, offering fun for all the family, festival goers will enjoy performances from local bands 'Mafia 4' and 'Three Bags Full' supporting legendary headline act 'Saloon Star', who play everything from swing and country to blues, funk, reggae and pop with some rock thrown in for good measure.

The music starts at 12pm but the fun starts when the doors open at 8.30am. Ticket holders will be able to enjoy one of Britain's most beautiful beaches as well as delicious local food and drink available from Venus café and takeaway* and the Bays Brewery drinks tent. There will also be a host of activities for the whole family to enjoy. Children will be kept entertained with traditional Punch & Judy shows and treasure hunts and demos from charities supporting the event: RNLI, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Marine Conservation Society and the Devon Wildlife Trust.
