Retro Rendezvous, Ulverston’s festival of vintage, will take place from Friday 13th to Sunday 15th July in Cumbria, with music, food, drink, dance, cinema, clothes, vehicles and old school cycling events.
Highlights at this year’s event will include vintage cycling with Velo Retro, a vintage tea room with retro cakes and biscuits, a 50s ukulele sing along and workshop on a classic double-decker bus, and a costumed vintage promenade.
The Retro Rendezvous will kick off on the Friday evening at Ford Park with stories from travel and cycle author Andrew Sykes.
The entertainment will continue over the weekend with a vintage market selling gifts, clothes, cakes, homewares and jewellery. There will also be gin, vintage cycles, vintage make-up and styling, fine arts and ceramics, and a stall celebrating the history of the NHS.
