Southwold is home to the Latitude music festival, which is held annually in July. Although Latitude Festival is held slightly inland, popular hotel spots on the coast are still likely to be very busy during the festival.

Options such as The Angel are located inland and are just over a 5min drive from Latitude’s usual location.
