Sutton on Sea steps back in time with return of Vintage on Sea event

Sutton on Sea will step back in time on Saturday 28 June as the popular Vintage on Sea event returns.

The free event is set to provide a day of nostalgic fun, attractions, workshops and performances throughout the village centre from 10am until 4pm.

The day will be packed with an array of entertainment and activities, designed to celebrate the traditional seaside holiday experience. Visitors can expect to enjoy classic fairground rides, live performances and even vintage hair styling appointments, all capped off with a planned fly-past from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, expected to be a Hurricane and Spitfire.

The Meridale Youth and Community Centre will be transformed into a vintage cinema, complete with popcorn for the authentic movie experience, whilst live performances across the day will showcase a mix of talent for all ages, bringing together a variety of singers, bands, theatre, dance groups, magicians, and more.

Other highlights will include traditional fairground attractions in the Spar car park, and a market with over 30 different stalls offering everything from vintage items and delicious food and drink to engaging games and activities to get involved with.

Those looking to get into the spirit of the day will be able to take part in a best dressed vintage competition, complete with trophies for the top three, with face painting available alongside craft workshops where people can create their very own miniature wooden beach hut to take home.

Vintage cars will be on display in Marine Avenue car park, the Bacchus Hotel car park and along Cromer Avenue. All visitors can enjoy free parking at both Broadway car park and Furlongs field football pitch for the event.

Cllr Craig Leyland, leader of East Lindsey District Council, said: “Vintage on Sea is a true celebration of community spirit and the perfect opportunity for residents and visitors to get creative, step back in time, and enjoy a day filled with amusement and entertainment.

“I hope that like last year there will be a great turnout to enjoy the fantastic range of sights and activities on offer, remembering why we fell in love with our beautiful coastline, whilst making brand new memories at the same time.”
