Stompin' on the Quomps is a music festival situated in the picturesque surroundings of Christchurch Quay.
In the early 1990's the late Suzette Sulley, the Council Arts Officer, conceived the idea of a community concert. With the involvement of the leader of the local big band Adrian Dwyer, the concept of hosting a community concert on Christchurch Bandstand was born.
In its formative years, the event was part of Christchurch Regatta, sponsored by The Regent Centre, the audience comprising of a handful of people, and a dog.
Rapidly the event outgrew the regatta, becoming what is today one of the largest events in Christchurch's calendar.
The line-up, which will include 10 bands, has still to be announced for 2018
