PRESS RELEASE

It is with great sadness I have to announce this years Vintage & Custom show is cancelled, due to lack of take up on stall bookings to make it financially viable for this year, a mixture of reasons for some financial constraints others holiday clashes etc but too many are unable to commit this year. If the industry has an appetite for a show next year, I hope to return and I’ll do my utmost to keep the show alive for the future.

Anyone who has already booked a stall please contact me via email for a refund. As ever thank you to everyone who has ever supported the show since 2017 and to the amazing performances over the years from the cream of UK talent blessed ❤️

I hope this isn’t the end of the road I’ve enjoyed every minute of putting this show together each year. Hope to see you all soon.
Much love,
Simon

City of Coventry

A fascinating city in its own right, Coventry is at the heart of the English Midlands - close to Birmingham, Leicester and the historic towns of Worcester, Leamington and Stratford upon Avon.

The city of Lady Godiva is steeped in history - it was briefly the capital of England in the 15th century - and with two universities and a population of 300,000, it offers plenty of culture including the Coventry Music Museum and some lively nightlife and live music in the nearby suburb of Earlsdon.
