CAMPSITE is now FULLY BOOKED FOR 2026
There are a number of local guesthouses that are all searchable on Google. We list a few options below but if you would like something added to these listings, please get in touch.
Find accommodation on AirBnb. Remember that Dovercourt is quite close, and Manningtree, Mistley and Wrabness are good places if you are interested in coming by train.
You can book accommodation for the whole weekend of the festival here.
The Shanty Bus runs over the weekend and provides lifts to and from Harwich Town so this is a great place to stay!
Stay on board a Thames Sailing Barge - SB Pudge is sailing up from Maldon, Essex on 8th October, returning on 12th October. This cruise includes accommodation over the festival weekend. More info here.
CAMPSITE:
We open a temporary campsite for campervans and caravans on St Helen's Green for the weekend. It is very basic, but very popular! There is no guarantee of security or facilities but there are public toilets near the High Lighthouse.
Spaces go very fast so we recommend either following us on Facebook and/or signing up to our mailing to be the first to know.
There is one campsite option - which covers the whole weekend. You cannot book for single days.
