10 Insider Hacks for Booking The Sea Croft & Lytham Festival 1st - 5th July 2026
Lytham Festival is the Fylde coast’s summer highlight, drawing music lovers from across the country. If you want to secure your perfect stay at The Sea Croft Bed Breakfast & Bar and get the best value next year, planning ahead is essential. Here are our top 10 hacks to help you book smart, save money, and enjoy every moment of the festival.
1. Book as soon as the Festival Dates are announced - 1st - 5th July 2026!
The moment Lytham Festival releases its dates, our rooms start filling up. Booking early guarantees your stay and locks in our lowest rates—before the rush begins.
2. 5 - Night Stays Get Preferential Access
We always release 5-night packages first for festival week. This means you get the best choice of rooms and dates, and peace of mind knowing your accommodation is sorted. 4- and 3-night stays won’t be available to book until much later in the new year, so booking 5 nights is the surest way to secure your spot.
3. Consider a 5-day Festival Pass
A 5-day festival pass may seem expensive at first, but if you’re keen to see two or more artists, it’s often the most cost-effective option. Plus, you’ll have the freedom to enjoy the full festival atmosphere and discover new acts along the way.
4. Join Our VIP List for Exclusive Discounts

Travelling with friends or family? Booking several rooms at once ensures your whole party stays together for the festival fun, making your trip more enjoyable and stress-free.
7. Flexible Check-in & Early Parking - First Choice for 5-Night Guests
When you book a 5-night stay, you get first pick on extras like early check-in and early parking. For just £25, you can check in early and settle into your room before the festival crowds arrive. Need to park sooner? Secure early parking for £10 and guarantee your spot. These options are offered to our 5-night guests before anyone else, so you can start your festival experience stress-free and on your own schedule.

Parking in Lytham can be tricky during festival week. We recommend pre-booking your official festival parking through Ticketmaster as soon as you purchase your tickets. This guarantees you a space close to the action and peace of mind on arrival.
