Hosted by City of Portsmouth College in partnership with Portsmouth City Council, this free, in-person event is a fantastic opportunity to relax by the sea, enjoy live entertainment, and connect with the vibrant SEND community across Portsmouth. Bring your family and friends and make the most of a sunny Saturday filled with great music, local talent and community spirit.
