Get ready to travel back to the 1950s and 1960s at Crich Tramway Village on the edge of the picturesque Peak District on the 10th and 11th August. This nostalgic weekend is set to be a delightful mix of infectious tunes, exciting entertainment, and is perfect for music lovers of this golden era!
Whether you’re a fan of the fashion, cars, or music of the 50s and 60s, this event has something for everyone. The weekend offers a packed programme of music each day and as usual visitors can enjoy unlimited rides on vintage trams, taking in beautiful scenery of the surrounding Derwent Valley and Peak District.
Vintage Vibes and Timeless Tunes
Dust off your best vintage attire and immerse yourself in the sounds you know and love. If you’re a die-hard fan of Elvis, the Beatles, or Buddy Holly, this event is tailor-made for you. Performances include The J D Show – Elvis, The Fab4 (Beatles Tribute), and Paul Birch with his It’s All About Buddy show as well as many more – capturing the essence of some of our most well known iconic musicians, transporting you back to the golden era of rock ‘n’ roll and British Invasion music.
Dance the Day Away
For those who love to dance, don’t miss out on the Charleston a go go each day. This fun and interactive session will have you moving and grooving like it’s the 1960s all over again.
Take a Breather
If you need a breather, stretch your legs on the Woodland Walk Sculpture Trail. Continue your nostalgic journey with a drink at the Red Lion Pub, a visit to the old-style sweet shop – Barnett’s, or refreshments in The Poulson Room.
