Atmosphere

Soul Power Weekender combines community and relaxation by the seaside in Skegness. With great food and drink options and welcoming social spaces, it’s a mini holiday perfectly paired with non-stop soulful grooves.

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.
