Vintage Vinyl Weekend is BACK! 🖤 Returning for its 7th spectacular year, 2026 promises to be something of a vintage year for Vintage Vinyl Weekend.

After months spent travelling across the country assessing collections, this year has delivered some truly exceptional finds. Expect some of the UK’s finest vinyl gems, rarities and collectables, spanning rock, punk, indie, pop, reggae, jazz, soul and more.

Queues typically begin forming up to an hour before opening, so early arrival is strongly recommended.
