Vintage By The Sea will return to Morecambe on Saturday 31st August and Sunday 1st September 2024. This fabulous celebration of vintage design, fashion, dance, film and music regularly attracts visitors nationally and internationally.
Hopeful and Glorious will be curating the Makers Market at The Midland Hotel. Situated on Morecambe Promenade this fabulous Art Deco gem is located in the heart of the festival activity. We will curate a showcase of around 30 artists, upcyclers, producers, makers and designers who have been selected for the quality and originality of their work and of course we’d love to see some vintage inspiration.
