Vintage Festival - offering everything from fashion and music to food and fun

Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway’s famous Vintage Festival has teamed up with MAMA group for the summer of 2012. You have probably come across the work of the award winning group at festivals like Lovebox, The Great Escape and Wilderness Festival to name a few. Together, they will be turning the stunning stately home, Boughton Estate in Northamptonshire, into the capital of British culture and cool. For one glamorous weekend, toasting classic style from the past 80 years of music, fashion, film, art, design and food, Vintage is set to offer a truly unique festival experience for 2012.

Vintage promises an opportunity to enjoy some of the finest elements of British culture. Whether it’s learning the dances of the decades, boogying along to tunes of an incredible DJ set, having a decade specific makeover or taking advantage of the Vintage Marketplace, brimming with independent retailers and renowned brands from past to present, it truly is a creative feast for all the ages.
