Summer Sesh will return to Whitehaven on July 24, 2027, with live music, activities and a giant outdoor screen.

Summer Sesh will return to Whitehaven on July 24, 2027, bringing a day of live entertainment and celebration to Barra Jacks' beer garden. The event follows the success of this year's edition. Organisers Jake Robertshaw and Max Matthews, owners of Evolution UK, have promised a packed programme of music, activities and surprises. Both organisers said they are 'focused on putting on a top-quality day for the community, showcasing home-grown talent and giving Whitehaven a big summer day to remember'.

The event will feature a giant outdoor screen and face painting provided by Glitz and Glam. A special appearance will be made by The Ledman, a well-known local character. Two after-parties are planned, each offering different musical experiences to suit all tastes.

Planning for the event has been underway since September 2026. The organisers originally considered hosting a festival at the rugby club but decided instead to focus their resources on Summer Sesh. Next year's event will support Bee Unique autism charity. An additional event is also planned for December 18 at Dekades Bar & Club.
