"We are planning for the anniversary festival on the first weekend in September and looking forward to developing a programme that is completely celebratory of Morecambe, its communities and the thousands of visitors who return to Vintage by the Sea every year.

They have also revealed that the 2022 festival, held in and around the Midland, the Winter Gardens and the Platform areas, generated more than 1.5 million for the local economy and attracted 45,000 people.

The Platform, run by Lancaster City Council, saw a record number of visitors over a single weekend as 15,000 people attended the Vintage Marketplace. The Winter Gardens also had their busiest weekend, attracting 7,500 visitors.

Vintage by the Sea was co-founded in 2013 by designer and TV personality Wayne Hemingway (pictured on the right), who was born in Morecambe, along with his wife Gerardine Hemingway and Morecambe-based culture company, Deco Publique.

I met up with the lovely artist, illustrator and ice cream entrepeneur Kate Sundae (Kate Drummond) who lives in Morecambe. As her name suggests, as well as her various creative practices, Kate has a fantastic vintage ice cream business that encompasses her love of faded seaside glamour and all that is vintage. The Everyday is Like Sundae van travels to festivals, events and can also be seen on the Morecambe seafront.

Kate also talked about three site specific paintings in Morecambe she had been commissioned to do for the Vintage by the Sea Festival in 2014, produced by Decopublique. The legacy artworks were funded by Arts Council England.

Although built in 1897, Kate also directed me to the Winter Gardens, which is currently being managed and renovated by Friends of the Winter Gardens, which I would like to visit on a future trip, to get more understanding of how the town would have functioned as a whole when The Midland was built. The Gardens have open days and various events on to have a look around the interior.

Vintage By The Sea is the largest free vintage festival in the UK. It celebrated its tenth anniversary last year with its most successful iteration to date, welcoming over 50,000 people to Morecambe, contributing an estimated 1.5 million to the local economy, and winning Best Large Scale Event at the Marketing Lancashire awards.
