Vintage festival set to return to Stansted Park with street food, a themed bar and jazz and swing bands in the line-up

Activities and entertainment, from an 80s keep fit class, swing beats from a jazz band and a ‘guilty pleasure’ disco will be among the festivities as the Nostalgia Show returns to Stansted Park in Rowlands Castle.

Taking place from June 17 to 19, revellers can take a trip down memory lane with classic cars, retro bands, ‘eccentric’ sports field activities, bingo and even a dog show in the line-up.

Transforming the estate into a nostalgia celebration, the show will showcase different eras through history with highlights including jazz band Amy Baker & The Swing Beats, old-school funk from Southsea Groove Collective and swing band Ding Dong Daddios.

There will be a variety of hand-picked street food vendors, a themed bar, kitsch bingo and plenty of stalls selling their goods.

Organiser and founder Alex Cvijovic, from Southsea, said: ‘We wanted to make sure this year’s event provides vibrancy and fun but with even more of a bang! We’ve pulled together the best group of performers to bring that vintage feel to life.

‘We love the energy of the music, the vibrancy of the clothes and memorabilia; we wanted to share our passion with like-minded friends for a whole weekend of fun.

Festivities begin on Friday, June 17 at 6pm until Sunday, June 19 at 6pm. Parking is free at the venue.
