The Big O Vintage festival comes to Edenbridge on
July 6th and 7th at the Kent and Surrey golf club.
Rated as one the UK's top vintage festivals in 2018
by Star Magazine , it promises to be a wonderful
weekend of vintage and retro culture, spanning four
decades and packed full of British and American
popular culture with classic cars, scooters, live music,
DJs, TV and film props, and dance sessions. The
festival is like a living time machine that takes you
from WW2 Britain to the rock'n roll 1950s, the
swinging 60s and right through to the pop culture
of the 1980s. There’s a great vintage market, street
food stands and specialist bars with day passes as
low as £15 for adults online. Tom Kerridge’s food and music festival, Pub in the
Park, is heading to Tunbridge Wells this summer
from 12th to 14th July. Dunorlan Park will be filled
with Michelin-starred pub and restaurant pop-ups
serving award-winning grub throughout the weekend
alongside the UK’s top chefs who’ll be showing off
their cooking skills on the Chef Demo Stage.
The bill boasts household names including Rick
Astley, KT Tunstall, Will Young, Gabrielle and
Basement Jaxx all performing live on the main stage.
To quench your thirst, Pub in the Park has an array
of bars confirmed from independent makers Weston’s
Cider, and gin connoisseurs Sipsmith, to the
quintessentially British Pimm’s teapot bar and the
country’s leading pub brewer, Greene King – there’s
something for everyone.
