Every June near the summer solstice, the village holds a week long festival known as Wakes. There are a number of activities & events culminating in "Big Saturday", which includes a large scale procession with dressed floats & improvised costumes, followed by an evening torchlight procession led by Tideswell brass band playing a unique tune called "The Tideswell Processional" accompanied by villagers dancing a traditional weaving dance. Tideswell Makers Market is usually held inside St John Baptist during June.

Since May 2011 Tideswell has been host to an ever increasingly popular food festival with an array
of independent food suppliers, local & well travelled, but sharing one thing in common, a passion
for good quality hand made food.
