Wayne Hemingway Vintage Festival

Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway today announce a new ‘central’ home for their award-winning Vintage festival is to be the grand stately home of the Boughton Estate in Northamptonshire for 2012.

The Vintage Festival is one of the most content rich festivals in the UK, with an emphasis on cutting edge Fashion, Art, Design, Style, Film, Food and, of course, Music, celebrated across the decades.

The iconic British designers are moving the festival to the site on 13-15 July 2012 to allow more people in the UK to experience the event that won ‘Best New Festival’ last year. The Hemingway’s also want to involve more local businesses and community groups across the country in the festival and is encouraging people to bring their vintage contributions to the event.

Wayne and Gerardine and the Hemingway family first launched Vintage in 2010 to bring together the ‘Best of British’ for one glamorous weekend to much critical acclaim. The festival received the UK’s ‘Best New Festival’ award in 2010 and has grown a large following of fans of all types of ages.

The new site is within two hours travel time of 80% of the population. Known as ‘The English Versailles’ because of the magnificent gardens and Grade I listed park, the site boasts 2345 acres of beautifully designed landscapes, waterscapes and woodlands. Boughton House, which will also be used as part of the festival site, houses a collection of fine art made originally for the French royal family.

Wayne Hemingway says: "By moving to Northamptonshire we’ve made it completely accessible for the rest of the country to get involved with Vintage. We know that there are huge amounts of people around the UK with a fondness for British culture and the vintage scene and we want to make it easier for them to come and enjoy the Vintage experience. We hope to see people from across the country at Vintage and want local businesses and community groups to get involved and bring their vintage contributions to the festival – this could be hairdressers, tea-rooms, local dance groups, collectors or cooks. The more, the merrier!
