Hospitality Weekender brings the D&B Village back to Bognor Regis in March 2027
Hospitality Weekender returns to Bognor Regis in March 2027, with four indoor arenas, label takeovers, pool parties, and three nights of accommodation.
Four indoor arenas, pool parties, and a room on site: Hospitality Weekender returns to Butlin’s Bognor Regis from 12 to 15 March 2027, turning the seaside resort into its D&B Village for another three-night takeover.
Hospitality, the events arm of Hospital Records, is building the weekend around music and a stay at the resort. Accommodation packages include festival admission, with hotel rooms and self-catering apartments among the options. That puts the arenas, restaurants, and somewhere to sleep within the same site.
Four arenas across the resort
The music programme stretches across the Hospitality main stage, Reds, Hotshots, and Bar Rosso. The announcement names Valve Sound System, Critical Sound, Virus Recordings, and Planet V among the brands hosting takeovers, bringing different strands of drum and bass into the programme.
Lens, Logistics, Fred V, and Etherwood are among the artists confirmed for a bill of more than 100 names. Across the weekend, the organisers promise a spread from liquid and jungle through to neurofunk, jump-up, and rollers. The programme also includes independent crews and communities such as Bassbarn and dnbfamily.
A weekend beyond the stages
The resort setting gives the programme room to spread beyond the dancefloors. Pool parties are planned alongside the swimming facilities, with live DJs, waterslides, and rapids advertised on the event website. There is also a 24-hour arcade and fairground rides, while the two-floor, 50,000-square-foot PlayXperience activity centre offers mini golf, escape rooms, VR gaming, table tennis, and laser tag.
For anyone looking to fit something more active around the music, the website also lists a run club and drum and bass HIIT sessions. Bars, restaurants, takeaways, and an on-site supermarket give groups options for food between sets, including those booking an apartment with a kitchen.
Packages cover three nights from Friday to Monday, with room types available for different group sizes. Facilities vary by accommodation category, so check the kitchen, towel, and room details when choosing where to stay. The booking options include payment plans and a 20% deposit, subject to the terms of the selected package.
Hospitality Weekender takes place at Butlin’s Bognor Regis, West Sussex, from 12 to 15 March 2027. Find the line-up and ticket route on our Hospitality Weekender 2027 event listing.
