When crowds are busier during the daytime we may ask that kept back beyond a certain point so there’s room for both the seated and standing (there will be signs and stewards to show you), this means there may be limited space for chairs at peak times – if you have a medical need for seating then please contact tickets@sidmouthjazz.com to make sure that we save you space to accommodate your needs.

Fair Space Usage Policy
We want everyone to have an enjoyable and comfortable time at the festival. At busier times our stewards may ask you to limit the amount of ground space that your and/or your party are using, please work with us in making space for everyone at the festival. This may mean that during peak times of the festival we limit the amount of seating space available to keep everyone safe. Thank you for your understanding.
Please note that there is no parking at any of the festival venues, however the venue addresses are below for walking purposes, please refer to parking information on where to park. The closest place to park is at our recommended parking parter – Sidmouth Rugby Club.
For the 2025 festival tickets are available for the entire festival, and depending on demand single day tickets for the Friday night, and all day Saturday, Sunday and Monday will be available depending on availability in the Spring. We are only able to offer full festival tickets at this time due to blockout dates imposed by various artist promoters.
At this stage we only plan on releasing full day tickets for the Saturday, Sunday and Monday which will include the headline artist on that particular day.
Yes. If you have bought multiple tickets and the tickets holders will be arriving in separate parties please make sure that each attendee has a unique ticket.
Each person will be scanned into the venue separately – so it is vital that each person has a unique ticket, as tickets can only be used once.
It is probably easiest to send the relevant ticket attachment to each party so that each person has a ticket to present at the event.
