As part of the aforementioned Festival of Britain celebrations at The South Bank Centre, Vintage at Goodwood will be taking place at the Southbank Centre over the weekend of the 29th, 30th and 31st July.

So I guess that makes it Vintage at Southbank for 2011, and what two great events to join together!

The website is just up, I'm sure it's going to have a fresh over-haul with all the details and presumably an event name change too at some point, but if you want to bookmark it for now you can do so here

This summer is shaping up to be a good one. After the royal ~~holiday~~ sorry I mean wedding, the Southbank Centre are having a massive five month long celebration for the 60th anniversary of the Festival of Britain.

Festival highlights include Ray Davies curating this year’s Meltdown(June), Tracey Emin’s first major survey show in London at the Hayward Gallery (18 May to 29 August), plus appearances by Lang Lang, Heston Blumenthal, Billy Bragg, John Berger, Meera Syal and Tony Benn. Themed weekends celebrate just some of the highlights of British culture – from Stewart Lee’s curated weekend of comedy and music (27 to 30 May) to Light Fantastic in collaboration with the BBC (24 to 26 June), a hip-hop weekend (22 to 24 July) and Wayne Hemingway’s vintage weekend (29 to 31 July)."
