The Retro Festival

7th – 9th August 2026

Step back in time at the Retrofestival to the evocative music of yesteryear and much much more.

Whether you seek to capture the lost glamour of the 30’s, with its art deco designs and elegant fashion, or the nostalgia of the 40s, with its wartime spirit and timeless melodies, you can transport yourself to a bygone era.

You can rock n roll to 50s tunes and dance the night away, then get down to some soulful rhythm and blues that will move your body and lift your spirit.

Let the music take you on a journey through time, as you revel in the sounds and styles of the past.

They have a fantastic selection of catering at Retro Festival this year.

From Chinese to Mexican, Traditional Grills to good old fashioned Fish ‘n’ Chips, and not forgetting Vegetarian cuisine.

To wash it all down they have a wide selection of ales, ciders and beers from their many bars.

Soft drinks and hot beverages too!

If you fancy a civilised afternoon then head to The Spitfire Pavilion for a traditional “Afternoon Tea”… scones with jam, strawberries and cream, brownies, cakes… the list goes on.

They are dog friendly, please keep them on leads at all times, respect others, clean up and look after your pets

Go on, you know you want to!
