Special Event
Take a break from the stress of modern life and ease yourself into a relaxing weekend of nostalgic style with gorgeous vintage cars, 50’s music and dancing, retro shopping, delicious food and more. This year you can really make a day of it at the Vintage Weekend at RHS Garden Rosemoor with lots of new exhibits and features. For the ultimate experience, set the scene and dress up for the day or find your outfit from the variety of traders in the Vintage Village in the Stream Field when you arrive. Enjoy a stroll on the rolling lawns of the arboretum and be fascinated by the eclectic selection of classic vehicles on show – their owners will be delighted to tell you all about them. Inspired and energised, walk back through the beautiful summer blooms via the bountiful Fruit and Vegetable Garden and to see ‘dig for victory’ displays about gardening techniques from 1946. Stop to watch a video of Lady Anne, the former owner of Rosemoor and eminent horticulturalist, talking about her time here. Return to the Stream Field where you can try your hand (or should that be feet?) at 1950’s swing dancing with Neil and Kerry from ‘Step into Swingtime’ or sit back and enjoy live music. Families can lose an hour or two in the vintage playground near the Wisteria Tea Rooms and enjoy Punch and Judy shows, steam rides and retro games from 10am–4pm (you could even sneak in a cheeky cream tea!) Come and meet a host of model making enthusiasts in our Garden Room, where you can view a huge variety of model displays, ranging from aviation to boats and automobiles. At some point, make sure you catch a free ride on Taw and Torridge's gorgeous green and cream 1950’s Bedford bus, providing a return shuttle service between the gardens and South Street Carpark in Great Torrington throughout the weekend. Book ahead online and save on entry. Plus, become an RHS Member this weekend and receive 30% off the standard direct debit price.
