From 8th–10th August 2025, wine lovers and foodies flocked to the stunning Highcliffe Castle for the South Coast Wine Festival. Following the success of previous years, this year’s event was bigger than ever — and we were thrilled to be part of it.
With perfect summer weather, a picturesque coastal setting, and an unbeatable lineup of wines, masterclasses, and live music, the festival was a celebration of flavour, community, and craftsmanship. But for us at Save Energy UK, it was also the perfect chance to show how the sun can be enjoyed in more ways than one.
The event brought together:
World-class wines – From local vineyards to international producers, there was something for every palate.
Expert-led masterclasses – Guests learned about grape varieties, food pairings, and wine production from industry experts.
Live music & entertainment – Performers kept the atmosphere buzzing all weekend long.
The stunning backdrop of Highcliffe Castle – The perfect coastal location to relax, explore, and enjoy.
We set up our Save Energy UK tent in the heart of the festival grounds, and over the three days, hundreds of visitors stopped by to learn more about solar power. While many came for the wine, they left with fresh knowledge about how the sun can power their homes, businesses, and even events like the festival itself.
At our stand, we:
Showcased a working solar display – Complete with live demonstrations showing how sunlight is converted into clean, renewable energy.
Answered questions from curious visitors – From installation costs and potential savings to battery storage options and payback times.
Powered parts of our display with solar energy – Giving a real-time example of solar’s effectiveness, even on the UK coast.
We were delighted by the number of conversations we had, and by how many visitors left feeling inspired to make their homes more energy-efficient.
For us, attending the South Coast Wine Festival wasn’t just about exhibiting — it was about connecting. Just as wine-making celebrates nature and tradition, solar power embraces innovation and sustainability. We loved being able to show that these worlds complement each other beautifully.
The South Coast Wine Festival 2025 was a huge success, both for the organisers and for us at Save Energy UK. We met wonderful people, enjoyed incredible wines, and had the opportunity to spread the word about clean, renewable energy in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
If you missed it this year, we highly recommend keeping an eye on the South Coast Wine Festival for next year’s dates. We might just see you there!
