Soul Power Weekender is the ultimate celebration of soul music, taking you on a four-day journey of rhythm, melody, and pure groove. Happening from 16 to 19 January 2026 at the seaside resort in Skegness, Lincolnshire, this vibrant festival experience invites fans of funk, R&B, and neo-soul to come together and let the music move them. Imagine famous DJs spinning soulful classics and fresh tracks, creating an electric atmosphere where every night is a dance party. Whether you're a long-time soul lover or just discovering the magic of funk and acid jazz, Soul Power Weekender promises a friendly, inclusive vibe where everyone can get on the dance floor and share the love of music.
At Soul Power, the party spreads across multiple rooms and stages, each with its own flavor. Maybe you step into a lively club room pulsing with R&B beats, or find yourself in a laid-back lounge where smooth tunes and jazz-funk set the mood. There's even space for sweet soul ballads or classic hip-hop grooves if that's your style. Throughout the weekend, top DJs and live performers fill the schedule, ensuring there's always something exciting happening. You might catch a headlining act under the disco lights or enjoy brunch with friends over Beatles-era soul tracks - the variety means the soundtrack never gets stale.
But it's not just music. Soul Power Weekender is built like a true holiday getaway. The festival is hosted at a lively holiday resort, providing comfy rooms, great food, and fun activities during the day. Guests can enjoy things like a bottomless brunch (free-flowing brunch cocktails to start the day with a smile) or relaxed afternoon DJ sets by the pool or in nearby venues. Some weekends even feature retro cinema screenings or exhibitions celebrating the culture of soul music - perfect for exploring with fellow music fans. Each evening, meet back up for club nights where DJs spin late into the night, keeping your energy high with the happiest beats.
The vibe at Soul Power is all about community and relaxation too. Leave the mud and camping behind: at this resort, you'll find a cozy bed each night and a hot shower whenever you please. Catch up with old friends or make new ones in the bars and common areas between sets. You can step outside for some fresh sea air - this coastal town is known for its seaside charm. Of course, there are plenty of tasty food and drink options on site, so you can refuel after dancing. From classic fish & chips to late-night snacks, everything is taken care of so you can focus on the music and fun.
By the time the weekend ends, you'll have filled your phone with new favorite songs, dance moves, and stories. Soul Power Weekender is all about having a blast in a friendly, joyous setting - a mini vacation where the soundtrack is as important as the memories. Whether you're hanging out with your soul crew or making lifelong friends in the crowd, this festival is guaranteed to bring smiles, laughter, and plenty of soulful vibrations. So dust off those dancing shoes and get ready for a groove-filled three days by the sea. Soul Power Weekender is where the rhythm finds you, no matter your age! For returning fans and newcomers alike, Soul Power Weekender is about more than music - it's a joyful celebration of community and creativity that will leave you uplifted and already looking forward to the next round of soulful fun.
The Soul Power Weekender location is easy to reach by public transport. Skegness has a train station served by East Midlands Railway, with regular services from Nottingham (about a 2-hour journey via Grantham and Boston). If you’re coming from London or other cities, simply change at Nottingham for the Skegness train. From Skegness station, local taxis or buses can take you the final short distance to the resort. National coach services (like National Express) also run to Skegness from major UK cities – check schedules for the latest routes and times.
By car, Skegness is accessible via the A52 or A158 roads. Drivers from the south should take the M1 to Nottingham, then the A52 east toward Boston and onward to the coast. From the north, you might use the A1 then head east on the A52. Follow local signs into Skegness and Ingoldmells. The roads are straightforward, though winter weather can be icy or foggy in January, so allow extra travel time. Ample parking is available at the resort and nearby public car parks (some free, some pay-and-display).
The closest airports are East Midlands (around 70 miles away) and Humberside (about 55 miles). East Midlands Airport offers flights from across the UK and Europe; from there you can rent a car or catch a train via Nottingham to Skegness. Humberside has regional and budget flights and is roughly an hour’s drive away. Other major airports (London Luton, Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham) require a longer train or drive (typically 3–4 hours) but are options for international visitors. In winter, check flight and train schedules carefully for any weather-related disruptions.
As for accommodation, book early! Skegness and neighboring Ingoldmells have many hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs, and holiday parks. The festival’s host resort itself may offer rooms or chalets, but local options will fill up fast when an event is on. If Skegness is busy, consider nearby towns like Boston (30 minutes away) or even Lincoln for lodging. Many visitors choose self-catering cottages or caravans if available. Since it's a popular winter weekend, look out for deals and double-check cancellation policies. Finally, restaurants and pubs may also require reservations, especially on a fun event weekend like this.
