Event Restrictions & Prohibited Items
Hamptons Jazz Fest 2025:
There is no re-admission to ticketed events after entry. Please plan ahead, once you’re in, you’re in!
Golf umbrellas, parasols and the like are not permitted at the shows for safety reasons.
Tables and personal bbq equipment, are not permitted at events for safety reasons. THE EVENT IS A STANDING SHOW, with the exception of VIP, however general ticket fans are allowed to bring their personal camp chair and empty cooler box.
No food or drink is permitted to be brought into the event, with the exception of water in unopened plastic containers of up to 500ml. There are a wide variety of licensed bars and catering open throughout the event,
Buggies & pushchairs are permitted as children have access to the event. We strongly advise that customers consider that areas nearer to the Main Stage will be very busy and densely populated which will make it extremely challenging to move a buggy. We therefore respectfully advise that buggies may be requested to be relocated from those areas to less densely populated spaces on safety grounds.
