Bridlington DadFest to return to South Cliff Holiday Park

DadFest will return to South Cliff Holiday Park, in Bridlington, from Friday, May 15, to Sunday, May 17, celebrating father figures with a weekend packed full of activities.

The festival, organised in partnership with East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Rewilding Youth, was created by The Dads’ Network CIC and is open to dads, father figures, male carers and their children of all ages.

Councillor Nick Coultish, cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism, said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome DadFest back to South Cliff Holiday Park in 2026.

“This unique festival gives dads and children the chance to connect with nature while enjoying fun activities that help develop new skills and strengthen family bonds.

“I had the privilege of taking part in the last DadFest and was hugely impressed by how well organised it was and by the wide variety of activities on offer.”

The weekend will include archery, camping, storytelling, beach games, trampolines, den building, and the Regional Dad Dancing Championships, with one dad crowned Yorkshire Champion.

The ticket price covers all activities and camping for the entire weekend.

A small number of discounted tickets are available for low-income families.
