- Sponsors & Partners 2023 -
The Shake & Stir festival has been revving up fans of vintage and retro music, vehicles, dancing, fashion and lifestyle living… for many years now.
From rock’n’rollers looking for the best in 1920’s-1970’s music… to jive bunnies, fashionistas and grease monkeys - the Shake & Stir festival appeals to a variety of vintage life-stylers; along with people of all ages, looking to engage with a diverse collection of traders, sponsors, entertainment, and so much more!
In 2022 Shake & Stir returned to delight visitors for the eighth time, drawing crowds of 30,000 people over the two days. For the summer of 2023, we hope to go one better, with incredible acts, traders, performances, artists and more to enjoy!
