The retro-themed weekend included live music, a vintage and retro-style fashion show and a display of classic cars.

While car enthusiasts enjoyed the vintage vehicles, hair and makeup fanatics had the chance to get some top tips at the retro hair and makeup sessions.

There were free dance lessons with JiveSwing in Leys Square, accompanied by live music from The Jive Aces.

Festivalgoers didn’t allow anything to rain on their parade – as the heavens opened, the dancing was moved to within The Arcade.
