For those who want to keep the party going on Saturday night, we’ve ticketed events with something for everyone…. From classical music and jazz to cabaret and comedy – our Sundown Events keep the festival going until dawn…
Jamz Supernova Afterparty
When the sun dips below the horizon, the energy doesn’t fade — it shifts. Head from the beach to The Venue at Claremont Pier as First Light continues after dark with a late-night afterparty from Jamz Supernova.
Simon Day
Simon Day — one of Britain’s finest character comedians and a defining voice of The Fast Show — joins us at First Light Festival for a special one-night performance at The Seagull Theatre.
The Wrong End of the Pier Show
NEW FOR 2026! A mad-cap cabaret where theatrical antics blur into delicious aerial spectacle as the moon floats across the midsummer night sky in an hour of skill, strength, and stupidity!
