Crick is proud to be Britain's biggest inland waterways festival, but the Crick experience wouldn't be complete without a full weekend of live music entertainment. Enjoy a wide selection of music performed in the Crick Tavern Marquee in the afternoon and evening. On Saturday and Sunday, the evenings build to the appearance of a headline act.

We are pleased to announce that Vetus is the new sponsor of Crick Music Festival 2026. Vetus is a leading innovator in the manufacture of products for leisure craft and small commercial vessels. Ray Browning, UK Branch Manager at Vetus, says: "We are delighted to be the new sponsor of the Crick Music Festival, an integral part of the Show that brings additional atmosphere and entertainment to the event. We have exhibited at Crick Boat Show since its inception, and it remains a highlight of our year: there is no substitute for face-to-face interaction with customers!"

Entry to the evening entertainment is included in the price of your ticket - making a trip to Crick Boat Show incredible value for money.

Headline Acts for 2026 will be announced here soon.
