Family & Activities

Families are welcome with dedicated activities for children. Additional offerings include yoga classes, wellness sessions, art workshops, artisan markets, and vinyl hunting.

Love Supreme Jazz Festival is easily accessible by public transport. The nearest train station is Glynde (Southern Rail), with regular services linking to Lewes, Brighton and the wider south coast. On festival weekends a free shuttle bus runs frequently from Glynde Station up to the festival gates. If your train only goes as far as Lewes (a major station on the London-Brighton line), you can take a local train or the official shuttle to Glynde. For an even easier option, festival buses run from Brighton and Lewes directly to Glynde Place on each festival day (advance tickets are highly recommended to reserve your seat).

By car, you’ll approach the festival via the A27. From the west, follow the M25 to the M23 south, then A23/A27 eastbound; from the east, follow A27 past Eastbourne towards Lewes. Follow the festival signs into Glynde (do not drive through the village). Onsite parking (north of the venue) is available with a pre-booked pass – buy in advance. The car parks are a short walk from the entrances. If you prefer not to drive, official coach services (Big Green Coach) run from London and nearby towns, dropping you at the gates – a relaxing, eco-friendly option. Taxis and rideshares can use a dedicated drop-off point near the festival; pre-booking a cab is advised as local services may be busy.

If you’re flying in, London Gatwick Airport is the closest major airport (about 40 minutes by car or train). From Gatwick, you can catch a direct train to Lewes or Brighton and then connect onward to Glynde. London Heathrow and other airports are further away; if arriving at Heathrow, travel via central London or by coach first. For accommodation, you have many options: festival camping (tents, deluxe glamping and more) is available on site, or you can stay in nearby towns. The historic town of Lewes and the seaside city of Brighton are both within about 20 minutes by train and offer a range of hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses. Many visitors book their lodgings early as summer weekends can fill up fast.
