Exciting news is bubbling up from Dorset’s culinary coast, and we’re thrilled to share it with you!
While the Dorset Seafood Festival is taking a break in 2025 due to essential sea wall repairs at Weymouth Peninsula, the team behind this award-winning event has something extraordinary up their sleeve.
Introducing Langham & The Sea, a brand-new, intimate festival set for 13th & 14th September 2025 at the stunning Langham Wine Estate, one of England’s most prestigious vineyards. Get ready for a weekend of sparkling wine, sensational seafood, and unforgettable Dorset charm!
This exclusive event, brought to you by the Dorset Seafood Festival crew, promises a celebration of the county’s rich food and drink heritage. Nestled among the vines on Dorset’s chalky downs, Langham & The Sea will welcome just 1,500 guests per day, ensuring an elegant, intimate experience.
Expect a delightful blend of wine tastings, chef demos, vineyard tours, live acoustic music, and a curated selection of artisan producers showcasing fine food, local art, jewellery, and homewares. It’s a feast for all the senses in a breath taking countryside setting.
Sip: Taste the award-winning sparkle of Langham Wine Estate’s English sparkling wines, crafted using traditional methods from grapes grown on Dorset’s unique terroir. Each glass is a true taste of English winemaking at its finest, with notes of citrus, apple, and brioche that pair perfectly with seafood.
Savour: Indulge in the South Coast’s freshest catches, from plump Poole Harbour oysters to expertly prepared coastal dishes. Every bite celebrates Dorset’s maritime heritage and vibrant culinary scene, sourced from trusted local producers.
Discover: Beyond the food and wine, immerse yourself in vineyard tours, live chef demonstrations, and soulful acoustic tunes. Browse stalls from artisan makers offering everything from local art to handcrafted treasures, all set against the rolling beauty of Langham’s estate.
The exclusive ‘Sea & Vine’ Ticket is a steal, including festival entry, a glass of Corallian Classic Cuvée, a freshly shucked Poole Harbour oyster, and a vineyard tour.
With only 1,500 tickets available per day, these are expected to sell out fast, so don’t dawdle—secure your spot at langhamandthesea.dorsetseafood.co.uk
