The Ska Choir at Inn On The Beach

Skankin’ by the seaside? Yes please! The Southern Ska Collective is thrilled to be performing at HI FEST 2025 at 12 NOON on Sunday, July 27th, bringing our trademark energy and two-tone spirit to Inn On The Beach, one of the festival’s most iconic seafront venues.

Inn On The Beach

Formerly the Island's lifeboat station, and remains a great place to watch windsurfers/wing foilers carrying on the legacy of Peter Chilvers who invented and tested the first sailboard on Hayling in 1958!.

HI FEST is Hayling Island’s beloved free music festival, known for transforming the island into a vibrant, multi-venue celebration of live music. With over 70 acts spanning ska, reggae, rock, indie, and more, it’s the ultimate day out for music lovers in support of local charity Wave, who provide support for young people on Hayling Island.

Set against the stunning coastal backdrop of Inn On The Beach, our performance will deliver uplifting harmonies, big brass energy, and pure feel-good ska vibes. Whether you're a lifelong 2 Tone fan or just love live music with heart, we’ll have you singing, dancing, and smiling all afternoon.

Soak up the sun, the sounds, and the spirit of community. Bring your shades, grab a pint, and come skank with us by the sea!
