WAVE Charity Festival 2026

The Wave Festival is a family friendly community festival designed to offer something for both adults and children. Alongside a full programme of live music, many of the main activities are included with your ticket, helping families enjoy the day without extra costs.

Activities are planned to include a range of family entertainment such as inflatables, face painting, pedal go-karts for children and adults, a young children’s play area, bubbles, themed attractions and more. Activities are subject to change.

A wide selection of local food vendors will be available throughout the day. For guests aged 18 and over, there will also be licensed bars serving beer, wine and cocktails.

Live music will run from 11:00am through to 7:15pm, featuring a headline performance from BOYZLIFE at 6:30pm, alongside an eclectic mix of local bands and South Coast musicians. After the live music, the festival continues with Soal’s Ibiza House Party, running until 10:30pm.

The Wave Festival is organised by Wave Children’s Charity (charity number 1190803). While the event is professionally delivered with accredited security, first aid, facilities and event staff in place, it is also supported by a dedicated team of volunteers. All profits raised help support local charities and Wave’s work with young people on Hayling Island.

Please note that photographs and video footage may be taken during the event for promotional purposes.
