The festival runs Saturday, 5 June from 1pm to 10:30pm at Hove Lawns, right on the Brighton and Hove seafront. Expect a curated day festival format—think food, drink, and entertainment spread across the afternoon into evening. This is 18+ only, so it's a grown-up affair.
The vibe
Hove Lawns is one of the South Coast's most pleasant outdoor spaces, and the boutique festival format means it won't feel rammed. You get the festival energy—live entertainment, good food and drink—but without losing your mind to dust clouds or dodgy portaloos. The seafront location means proper views, fresh air, and the kind of setting that makes a summer day actually feel summery.
Getting tickets
Day tickets are the only option here, which suits the format perfectly. Prices haven't been confirmed yet, but keep an eye on Skiddle for when they drop. Expect typical festival day pricing—anywhere from £25 to £50 depending on what's included.
