Poole Goes Vintage

Picture this: you're wandering through cobblestone streets where victory rolls catch the morning light, the sound of Glenn Miller drifts from every corner, and classic cars gleam like jewels against the backdrop of Poole's historic quayside. Poole Goes Vintage transforms Poole's historic heart into a living, breathing tribute to the golden age of the 1940s through 1960s.

The magic begins at 11am and doesn't let up until 6pm. With fabulous support from Poole BID, this free festival brings together music that stirs the soul with the kind of nostalgia that makes you wish you'd been born in a different decade. The central live stage becomes the beating heart of the festival, hosting performances that span from local talent to nationally renowned vintage artists. Meanwhile, the little ones get face painting, Punch and Judy shows, meet-and-greets with whimsical vintage characters, stilt walkers, and bubble blowers, keeping them as enchanted as the adults.
