Retro Rendezvous 2024
Ulverston town centre
In 2024, we’ll be back in Ulverston town centre. We’ll have live music, vintage cars, motorcycles, scooters, cycling and retro market stalls.
We’ve learnt from our 2023 experience, and we’ve planned improvements to the layout and facilities, to address issues with access and congestion.
Sadly, we’re unable to host as many classic cars this year, as we don’t have sufficient space for them to be driven and displayed safely in accordance with Westmorland & Furness Council requirements, but we’ll still have a few.
Retro Rendezvous 1st & 2nd June 2024
Based in the centre of the brilliant old market town of Ulverston, Retro Rendezvous is a full weekend of fabulous retro fun. Music, food, dance, clothes, markets, scooters, motorcycles, drink and the famous Velo Retro old school cycling events through the Lake District. It’s about as much fun as you can have with your retro clothes on! Entry to the festival for most events is free of charge. So put it in the diary and get ready for one of the great weekends of the summer.
2024 participants applications now open
Register your interest as an exhibitor or performer. Request a festival trading space in New Market Street for Saturday and Sunday. Festival trading spaces are limited to what we can fit into the limited space available, so we may unfortunately have to decline some applications. Anyone can apply, and priority will be given to local businesses selling vintage products, plus non-profit organisations, and traders who supported us in 2023.
