Local Resident Information

As a responsible event organiser, we recognise the importance of engaging with the local community. Lazydays is organised by three locals, Andy, Elliott and Mike, and is independently owned and operated - we’re proud to be bring Lazydays to our hometown.

With that in mind, key information about Lazydays’ operations and license, as well as ticket eligibility, is contained on this page. The contents will be/has been distributed via letter between 8-18 May. A second letter will be distributed up to two weeks before the event with a reminder, as well as a noise complaints hotline.

The information below includes the opportunities you have to ask questions and give feedback on the event plans, and details on how you can contact the Event Organisers directly with any questions or concerns that you may have.

This page will be updated at later points, so you may wish to return nearer the event.

Lazydays Festival background

This year's event will take place on the last weekend of July, starting on Friday 25 July at 1700, and running through to Sunday 27 July, when the festival will close at 2000.

The event features great music acts, local up-and-coming musicians, and a celebration of independent drink producers, alongside crafters/makers, food trucks, demonstrations and tastings, as well as children’s entertainment and activities.

There will be 3 performance areas across the festival site. One will be an open-air stage, the second an enclosed canvas tent for emerging musical talent, and the third a demonstration venue.

There will be up to 10 bars and bar activations, and a wide selection of food outlets. The licensed maximum capacity of the event is 4,999, however, we expect around 3,000 attendees within Priory Park at any one time. Throughout the weekend, the operating hours of the site will be:

  • Friday 1700 to 2300

  • Saturday 1100 to 2300 (with two sessions, from 1100 to 1700 and 1800 to 2300).

  • Sunday 1100 to 2000

All music and bar service will cease by the closing times listed above each day. The area around the site will be fenced off to provide a safe and secure environment for those who wish to attend the event.

The build of the site will begin on Tuesday 22 July, running to Friday 25 July, and the take down will occur on Monday 28 July.

We have commissioned a competent person to prepare a Noise Management Plan and this has been submitted to environmental health.

Part of the noise management plan includes the provision of a noise hotline, which will be manned for the duration of the festival. Details about this hotline will be circulated to residents shortly before the event.

Engagement with Council and licensing authorities

We have met with representatives from the Local Authority and are keeping them advised as to our plans. We have provided officers with a copy of an Event Management Plan, which includes, amongst other policies, the Noise Management Plan. We have also attended the council-run Safety Advisory Group (SAG) and will also meet with the SAG for an event debrief.
