On Saturday 1st August, Vobster Quay will host our very first lakeside party combining all the things we love about the Summer - sunshine, live music, delicious food and drink, fun activities and great company - all wrapped up in a relaxed and welcoming festival-like atmosphere!
Whether you’re a dedicated diver who loves life under pressure, a keen swimmer chasing your next challenge, or simply looking for an unforgettable Summer evening of fun with friends, this brand new Vobster event brings together the Vobster community to celebrate the Summer. As the afternoon unfolds, the site will come alive with a chilled out festival vibe, filled with music, laughter and the sounds of Summer by the lakeside. We'll have a fantastic line-up of live music from multiple bands and musicians to keep the atmosphere going throughout the evening. Non-members are welcome too!
Before the party kicks off at 18:00, visitors will of course have the opportunity to make the most of the lake so grab your gear and join us for a day on (or under) the water! Just want to join us for the party? Not a problem - a number of ticket options are available to suit everyone...
LIVE MUSIC ON THE QUAYSIDE
At the very heart of our Vobster Summer party is a fabulous line up of live music acts including Glastonbury festival sensation Sam Evans and his band who will entertain you throughout the evening. Join us for a fabulous set list featuring three incredible live music acts performing by the lakeside from 18:00 till late. Bring your best dancing shoes - you're gonna need them!
From laid-back acoustic sounds to high-energy toe-tappers guaranteed to get you and your mates up and dancing, we've drafted in some of the best local musical talent to entertain you throughout the evening. To view the full line up of talent and other activities on offer, visit our

Fancy a tipple? Not a problem. We'll have a fully licenced bar onsite serving a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and also a cake stall selling extra sweet treats. Note that drinks and extra cake are NOT included in the ticket price so make sure you bring some method of payment. Note that only drinks purchased on-site may be consumed. We operate a strict 'no glass' policy.
WORKSHOPS + ACTIVITIES
Our Summer party isn't just about partying down with your friends - it's also a great opportunity to enjoy some amazing activities! Divers and swimmers alike can look forward to a great line up workshops hosted by freediving guru Emma Farrell. For those wanting to try something a little different, these are not to be missed.
The fun continues with a host of classic country fayre-style games and activities. Challenge your friends at the coconut shy, brave a barrage of wet sponges at the stocks, test your reflexes at whack-a-rat and enjoy a variety of other light-hearted activities designed to keep the festival atmosphere going all evening. It's all very silly, a whole lot of fun and all in a very good cause!
