While working recently at the Americana show at the Newark showground i purchased some copies of Milkcow magazine from a vintage clothing retailer.
I was impressed by its smart design format, the articles and how it showed that this scene is growing in the UK. There are some very stylish vendors of all things vintage in the magazine including clothes, jewellery, cars, bikes, music weekenders and tattoos. Burlesque is quite important in this scene with lots of pics of stylish femmes and the club nights springing up across the UK. We worked with the Scantily Clad burlesque girls at Glastonbury in 2009 when providing tents to the Rabbit Hole. We have noticed how popular our vintage army tents have been over the last few years, with 40’s theme events been a popular choice. See our gallery for pics of a 200 people event last summer.
Check out the Milkcow website, or even better the magazine, for some interesting articles on the music, clothes and fab retailers important to this vintage scene. With the Vintage Festival about to launch this summer it seems the time is ripe for nostalgia, fashion and fun mixing together at events. While wandering around Secret Garden last week there were certainly lots of fancy dress outfits featuring vintage clothes as well as retailers like PrettyRubbish selling clothing to meet this demand.

If you fancy hearing some of the music of the scene check out Mark Lamar’s Rock’n Roll show when it airs in Radio 2 or try Rockabilly Radio for non-stop 40’s/50’s tunes

We recently came across Lesley’s website www.medievalbanquethire.co.uk and got in touch to work together offering our complementary services. Check out her website for the range of Medieval items available for an authentic event in one of our Pavilion Tents. Both our businesses are located in the same eastern region of England and are happy to provide a complete package service.

We provided a Merlin tent for an event at Warwick Castle this week. The Camping & Caravanning Club were running an event ‘New To Camping’ which featured a range of equipment manufacturers displaying equipment and talks from their president David Bellamy. Our Merlin Medieval pavilion tent was in the right setting and was featured in an article the club was producing for its August issue
.
It was a lovely summer day and ideal for being in the great outdoors. Warwick Castle has some marvellous exhibits, I particularly liked the ‘Kingmaker’ tour of rooms recreating life in the castle on the eve of a battle in the 14th Century , it was very evocative. Warwick Castle have many authentic tents manufactured by the same company that made our Medieval Pavilion tents. These tents are dotted around the site and are used to add colour, create the scene and used as concession stands.
