Poole’s getting ready to get its glad rags on with the Poole Goes Vintage event coming to Poole Quay, Dorset, England on the 9th and 10th July. Featuring vintage traders and live music playing the sounds of the 1940s, 1960s and everything in between, the event is a must for locals and visitors alike. This year, the celebration of all things vintage will be managed by Stir Events in partnership with BCP Council with funding from Festival Coast Live.
The vintage festival will be showcasing a broad range and quality of live music, vintage themed workshops and classic car displays. Perfect for vintage lovers, families, holidaymakers and locals, Poole Goes Vintage will include performances from fan favourites, Rhythm Slicks, Rockin The Joint,
Little Dave, Retro Rita, The Sun Sessions and DJ Mr. D with Retro Grooves spinning the disks at the vinyl booth. Vintage party-lovers can attend the Friday night Vintage Party at Poole Quay Hotel, featuring Miss Annie and The Midnight Shift along with Mr. D! DJ Dave Norrell with tickets available through Eventbrite.
Mandy Polkey, Managing Director of Stir Events, commented: “We’re really looking forward to hosting this vintage spectacular on Poole Quay this July, it’s such a wonderful opportunity for locals, visitors, and the business community to come together and celebrate Poole and all things vintage, a great day out for everyone.”
