VINTAGE VEHICLES AT THE VILLAGE
On Sunday 14th August, the Vintage Village celebrates classic style with a collection of vintage vehicles from some of the North West’s best classic vehicle clubs, so the car is most definitely the star!

The Vintage Village will also have the wonderful Girls Gone Rockin’ DJs providing entertainment, around 70 stalls filled to the brim with authentic vintage treasures for ladies and gentlemen as well as for your home. There are refreshments all day and ample parking nearby too. Admission to the cars is free and the market is £2 for adults, concessions £1.50 and under 12s are free.

Step Back to the 40s
The Daily Telegraph named the Salute to the 40s event at Chatham Historic Dockyard one of Britain’s Best Vintage Festivals in 2014 and it’s easy to see why.
This year on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th September, visitors can again be transported back in time as soon as they step foot into this popular annual event.
Be whisked back to the 40s with the very best in period entertainers who will be singing and dancing throughout the day to give the event an authentic atmosphere. There will be military and Home Front displays, an air display by the amazing Kent Spitfire, vintage vehicle parades, fashion, a vintage fair and a spiffingly nostalgic atmosphere from start to finish.
Visitors are encouraged to dress in the style of the 40s and fully immerse themselves in this weekend of vintage delight! Book tickets now via their website.

TWENTY TWO YEARS YOUNG

The fair began long before vintage became ‘cool’ (although of course, we here at VE think it’s ALWAYS been cool!) and will continue long after. It’s is a real treat for lovers of vintage and period clothing, textiles and haberdashery.
The event on Sunday 11th September will have the best UK traders as well as sellers from all across Europe that are extremely passionate and knowledgeable about their great variety of stock.
