Campsite Location
The Football Club campsite is located at Kirkley & Pakefield Football Club, accessed from Walmer Road, NR33 7LE (what3words slouched.slimmer.widely) There’ll be plenty of signage to point you in the right direction from there.
The campsite will be open to Friday & Saturday Campers from 18:00 on Friday 19 June, and from 10:00 on Saturday 20 June for Saturday Campers. This is campervan life festival style – you won’t have allocated spots, but we ask that you be considerate of space and other campers
When you arrive, please check in with the Campsite Manager at reception (which will be signposted). They’ll make sure you have everything you need for a lovely stay!
Campervan check
Due to our limited space, we can only welcome campervans which are self-contained. If your campervan requires a car to pull it, you’ll need to find a public spot outside the campsite to park your car over your stay. Additional tents around your campervan will also not be allowed. If you have any questions about whether your campervan will be permitted, please email info@firstlightlowestoft.com.
During your stay, we invite you to embrace the festival spirit and decorate your campervans. We want to see flags, garlands and bold colours
What to pack?
Have you got everything you need? Here’s a short list of things you might want to bring:
- Sleeping bag, pillows
- Torch
- Warm clothes
- Drinking water bottle
- Rubbish bags
- Spare toilet roll
Although there will be security on site at all times belongings are left at your own risk and best to leave valuables at home.
Also – please leave dogs at home! They are not allowed on most of the festival site due to summer season beach rules and it just wouldn’t be fun for them.
Campsite rules! We would like the Campervan area to be an enjoyable space for everyone, which unfortunately means a few rules…
- No fires, BBQs, fireworks or Chinese lanterns.
- No smoking please
- No glass please
- If you have a gas stove or lamp please make sure this is used and switched off properly and stored safely away from your and other people’s vans.
Facilities
Toilets, drinking water and showers are available, however there is no electrical hookup, nor water dumping facilities (we ask that you take everything with you!).
Evacuation
In the unlikely case of an evacuation of the campsite an alarm will sound. Please follow the instructions of the campsite manager and/or security.
If you have access requirements please make yourself known to the campsite manager so they can assist you in the event of evacuation.
Packing up
Litter – this goes without saying, but ensure you collect all your rubbish and take it with you. Walk the site slowly before leaving to check that nothing is missed. Leave the site as you found it – don’t leave holes, fire damage, litter, and take care not to damage vegetation.
The campervan site must be clear by 18:00 on Sunday afternoon.
Cancellations & Refunds
No refunds are given for Campervan pitches, however we may be able to re-sell your pitch. Please email info@firstlightlowestoft.com should you need to discuss your booking.
If you have any questions please do get in touch by emailing info@firstlightlowestoft.com.
