The Purbeck Arts Week is very popular and for music lovers there is a choice of Jazz, Folk and Blues Festivals when live music is played at various venues throughout the town, not forgetting the more recent and less musical additions such as Swanage Fish Festival and Pirate Festival! Also, worth a mention is the Swanage Comedy Festival, Swanage and Purbeck Walking Festival and for all of you running enthusiasts, the gruelling Purbeck Marathon!
The town also offers attractions such as the Mowlem Theatre located on the sea front showing a good selection of plays, shows and films throughout the year. The Swanage Steam Railway travels through six miles of beautiful scenery (some you may recognise from the recent film Dunkirk) passing though Harmans Cross and then on to the magnificent ruins of Corfe Castle and village. The Railway also hosts regular events such as Steam and Diesel Engine Galas, evening dining, Sunday lunches and the ever-popular Santa Special!
