We think the best way to enjoy the festival is on the beach in a tent, or up on the cliff in a campervan.
Camping under the stars at First Light offers the unique opportunity to stay on the UK’s most easterly beach, a stones-throw from the Festival site. Pitch your tent next to the sea, arrive in your campervan and take in the views and enjoy the full festival experience.
If neither of those float your boat though, there’s a wealth of accommodation, including hotels, B&Bs, AirBNBs, holiday parks and apartments in Lowestoft and wider Suffolk so you can explore our beautiful region.
These websites feature helpful information and places to stay within the town:
