  • Priory Park, Victoria Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, SS2 6ND.

  • For the first time, and in response to popular demand, we’re introducing a satellite campsite at a nearby location, just a 5 to 10-minute drive from Priory Park. Your campsite booking will include a shuttle bus service to and from Lazydays.

  • There’s no parking at Priory Park.

    We offer a Park & Ride ticket, available during the ticket buying process. The shuttle takes c. 7-minutes.

    Please do not park in nearby residential streets, as we like to be a good festival neighbour!

  • Yes! Day tickets are available right now - if you’re quick - all ticket types are running low (and Saturday VIP has SOLD OUT). First timers always tell us they wished they’d planned to come for all 3 days.

  • Southend is served by two train lines out of London, with a station just under 10-minutes walk away, and a free shuttle from Southend Central.

    The nearest parking is at London Southend Airport, with a free shuttle straight to Priory Park. Parking must be pre-booked and is not available on the day. There is NO parking for Lazydays at Priory Park.

    We’re well connected - getting here isn’t a faff. See our Getting Herepage for more info.

  • As early as possible to not miss out! 

    We recommend arriving at least 10-20 minutes before gates open (see event times!) each day, to maximise your time at the festival. The queue will open 30 minutes before gates open, when bag searches and ticket scanning will be carried out, so you’re all ready to go in when gates open.
