Essex Recovery Festival is open to anyone interested in recovery or sober living. We welcome those that don’t identify as being in recovery or sober but ask that you respect the fact that this is a sober festival and alcohol and illicit drugs are not permitted on site. Anyone bringing alcohol or drugs to the festival or presenting as under the influence may be asked to leave.

No! You will not be able to purchase tickets on the door, so please make sure you pre-book.

Unfortunately, the festival is an adults-only event at this time. However, we may consider welcoming children at future events.

No! This festival is 100% open to everyone who wants to experience the fun of a festival without substances.

Lambourne End is an easily accessible site and hosts events all year round for people with disabilities. However, paths can get muddy, and the woodland area can be rough going but the majority of the site is grass fields and should prevent little difficulty. If you have any concerns, please email festival@essexrecoveryfoundation.org 

We do have a small amount of limited space available. Please get in touch on festival@essexrecoveryfoundation.org and we’ll see what we can do.
