This year's Retro Rendezvous Festival takes place in Ulverston on the 31st May & 1st June 2025. If you'd like to participate as a vintage car/motorcycle/scooter exhibitor, performer, trader, or something else, please fill in this form.
Retro Rendezvous is a popular festival that takes place in a constrained town centre space. Demand to take part is always high and places are limited. In order to create the right mix of participants, the organisers will review submitted applications and will then get in touch with applicants to let them know if they have been successful. This process will take place in February. Please be patient.
We will accept applications from traders selling alcohol in sealed containers to be taken home, eg whole bottles of vodka, gin, etc, but we are already sufficiently provisioned for festival bars. Please DO NOT apply for bars, cocktail bars, etc.
We do not require an ice cream van. Ice cream sellers should not apply, unless the ice cream is included within a different product, such as milkshakes.
After you submit your application you will be asked to provide relevant documentation, such as insurance, hygiene certificates, menus, and risk assessments. Please make sure that you have electronic copies of these available. If you fail to provide something that is clearly important, the organisers may be unable to accept your application. Documents are not required for vintage car, motorcycle and scooter exhibitors.
Please read the following pages if applicable to you before you fill in the form. These are very important for performers and traders. The Event Management Plan is already published on our website, containing guidance for all participants.
