Traditional food will be served over the weekend, and throughout the two days guests can shop at a host of vintage stalls, try out the glamorous styles of the day at hair and make-up workshops, enter competitions, or simply sip a cup of tea to the sound of authentic 1940s artists.

Evenings will be buzzing with big bands, flash mobs and sing-a-long dances, and the advice is to dres up in your best retro and remember to wear your best dancing shoes.

Tickets start at £7.50 for general admission on Saturday and Sunday 10-4:30pm (concs available).

The ‘Vintage Sing-a-Long’ on the Saturday night 7-11pm, costs £10 and a decadent ‘Vintage Gala Dinner’ tomorrow with a sumptuous three-course dinner, and entertainment throughout costs £40.

Wristbands for the weekend including the Gala Dinner, £50. Call 01772 804444 for more details or to book tickets.
