Skegness Events and Festivals

Every year at around the second week in September Skegness Bottons Pleasure Beach closes it’s doors at the end of the summer season with a free fireworks display on the Skegness beach. For a free fire works display it’s quite good, we’ve been to the Lewes fireworks displays and torch led prosessions in the streets […]

Unfortunately Skegness Carnival 2007 was yet another symbol of a bunch of older East Lindsey District/Skegness Town councilors people who have no real idea of what a carnival should be. We missed Skegness Carnival 2008, but Skegness Carnival 2009 (see comments below) was no better. Just throw the word carnival around freely just to get […]

Skegness SO Festival 2013 discussions, SO 2013 is on from June 28th – July 7th 2013.

I wrote this a while back about the Illuminations Switch On, since the details haven’t been finalized I’m using this article for updates about Skegness Illumination event, in the comment section at the bottom of this page. Since things haven’t been confirmed yet and Skegness Illumination Switch On hasn’t taken place for some time a […]

Skegness SO Festival 2011 events program is out. It’s looking good from what I can see with some big events taking place during the 2011 SO Festival. We see the return of the World Famous which is a fireworks display company that took part in the first ever Skegness SO Festival in 2009. They were […]

Skegness doesn’t do Halloween like many towns around the country that have street parties that bring in thousands of visitors, so there are no big event on Halloween in Skegness no parade or street entertainers. There are individual pubs in Skegness that has Halloween events, but other than that nothing goes on :( Skegness Businesses […]

The Skegness SO Festival 2010 will run July 22nd to 25th. We don’t have any information about this 2010 Skegness event, it will apparently be based on the successes of the Skegness SO Festival 2009 and Skegness SEAS Festival 2009. More details regarding this Skegness festival to follow as we get it… What Do You […]

The SEAS Festival is coming to Skegness on the 25th September – 3rd October. See Skegness SEAS Festival Review. I’m a little dubious about this Arts Festival, I’ve been going through the list of events and it all seems very adult based and dry, there’s not much at all for families and the fun factor […]

Skegness SO Festival 2011 will see the return of the pyrotechnic group World Famous who will bring a spectacular show to the SO Festival crowds of fire, fireworks and music on the Friday 22nd July. World Famous came to Skegness in 2009 with their show Full Circle and performed along side band Terra Folk So […]

There aren’t that many Bonfire celebrations that go on in Skeg in the passed few years the amount of people willing to host a bonfire celebration in Skegness has got less and less due to health and safety […]
