Morecambe’s seafront will provide the backdrop and be transformed into a multi-venue playground where, visitors can ‘learn the dances’, take in specially curated live performances, exclusive DJ sets, catwalk shows, vintage fashion and homewares shopping in the Vintage Marketplace, hair and beauty makeovers in the Vintage Salon, fashion parades plus art and design workshops.

There will be evocative street food, themed dining and cocktails, classic vehicles, film, classic cars, creative workshops, kid’s activities, street theatre, a vintage fairground, vintage bus tours, and more.

New events for this year include a vintage cycle ride and a Vintage Pooch Parade, and on Saturday 6th the RAF has also confirmed that a Lancaster Bomber will perform a fly past of the festival.

The festival organisers are calling on local people and businesses to get involved to make it bigger and better than last year. They are looking for local artists, vintage traders, classic vehicle owners, market & food stallholders and community groups to contact them to be involved.

Local crafters are also on the wish list to help advise and run creative classes and workshops so that visitors can learn a new skill or develop a creative talent or revive an old one. Interested parties are asked to send their details to info@vintagebyhemingway.co.uk so that organisers can contact them and
discuss how they might become involved.

Vintage is the brainchild of designers Gerardine and Wayne Hemingway.
