The Vintage Festival

Vintage by the Sea Festival will not take place in 2025

We sadly announce that Vintage by the Sea Festival will not take place in 2025. This decision follows careful consideration of multiple factors, including funding challenges and continued rising costs.

Vintage by the Sea has been an incredible success story for Morecambe, and we are immensely proud of the role it has played in positively promoting the town, bringing tens of thousands of people together and creating significant income for dozens of businesses. We hope that this is not the end of the festival forever and that the right levels of resources and funding can be secured in the future within a deliverable timeframe.

To everyone who has both supported and enjoyed Vintage by the Sea — whether by attending, trading, performing, volunteering, as a local business playing host to our thousands of visitors, and to the professionals who have worked together to deliver over a decade of memories and unforgettable weekends for Morecambe - we want to say a huge thank you, and we’ll return if and when the time is right.

We are still buzzing from Vintage by the Sea - what a weekend! 🌟 For our 11th year of the award-winning festival, visitors rocked vintage styles from the 20s to the 90s, danced everything from the Bhangra to Charleston, and enjoyed classic cars, vintage market stalls, makers workshops, performances, DJs plus much more!⁠
⁠
This year we also welcomed new additions to the programme: visitors got creative in an 80s-inspired space with neon designs, skaters hit The Tar Pit for jams, art, and yoga, nannies paraded their vegetable babies and visitors joined the Bird Rave! ⁠
