Dates announced for 2022 Vintage-by-the-sea festival in Morecambe

The dates have been revealed for the return of the Morecambe Vintage-by-the-sea festival.

The popular and colourful event will return to the town on Saturday September 3 and Sunday September 4.

This will be the first Vintage-by-the-sea festival in Morecambe since 2019, after an absence of two years due to the Covid pandemic.

Billed as Britain's largest free vintage festival, the event was founded by Morecambe-born designer Wayne Hemingway and his family, and Morecambe-based company Deco Publique.

The Hemingways put on similar successful vintage events all over the country.

Beginning in 2013, the Morecambe event became a fixture on the town's festival calendar, pulling in visitors from all over the UK.

Vintage-by-the-sea, centred around The Platform and the Midland, traditionally includes exhibitions of vintage cars, fashion shows, vintage stalls and a celebration of 20th century culture including popular music, art and other forms of entertainment.

"Whether your thing is swing, rockabilly, mod, soul, funk, disco, ska, film, art or design, or if you just want to dress up for a day, Vintage Festival events are a sensual delight, a big dressing up box, a collector's dream and a joyous creative feast for all ages," said a Vintage Festival spokesperson.

"We celebrate the music, fashion, film, art, design and dance from the 1920s to the 1980s, with the emphasis throughout on glamour and head-turning style."
