Whitehaven Weekender 2026

Whitehaven Weekender continues today, Sunday 30 August 2026, with Pride By The Harbourside from 11am to 7pm.

The Sunday Main Arena is now sold out. Tickets will not be available on the door.

Wristband exchange

Existing arena ticket holders must exchange their confirmation for a wristband opposite the Main Arena entrance, CA28 7QG, between 10am and 5pm. Show the confirmation email so staff can scan the booking. Adults and under-18s receive different wristbands and a guardian contact number is written on wristbands for children and young people aged 17 or under.

If you need priority access for accessibility reasons, speak to the team at the Wristband Exchange.

Security

All bags are checked before entry. If you need a bag, bring a small one with as few compartments as possible. Re-entry is allowed with a wristband, but you must queue and go through security again each time.
