Casa Presents The Drake's Island Day Party
5th July 2025
Drake's Island, Plymouth
The team responsible for popular dance events in Plymouth, known as Casa, is set to host a significant dance music event on Drake's Island, located in front of Plymouth Hoe, on July 5th, 2025. This event is noteworthy not only for its location but also for the logistical challenges involved, as access to the island will be strictly regulated through a private ferry service, ensuring controlled entry and exit for attendees. This unique setting and organisation make the event a significant addition to the city's cultural calendar.

This fortress island sits 500 metres away in Plymouth Sound.
Historical records of the island are from 1135 AD, the island gained importance when it was used as a strategic defensive point in defending Plymouth against enemy ships.
Over it's time the island has been used for many purposes including a state prison, barracks, chapel, artillery tower, observatory, smuggling spot.
The island has many military fortifications including the cannons which will surround you at our mainstage.
