We know that there are huge amounts of people around the UK with a fondness for British culture and the vintage scene and we want to make it easier for them to come and enjoy the Vintage experience. We hope to see people from across the country at Vintage and want local businesses and community groups to get involved and bring their vintage contributions to the festival – this could be hairdressers, tea-rooms, local dance groups, collectors or cooks.
