All presented by our hosts with the most – Jenny Powell & The Doctor. So, get your tickets now and you’ll never have to say “Don’t you want me?” Because it’s going to be Gold and you’re all invited.

Rewind Festival will also see the return of many favourite activities such as the Pink Flamingo & River Stage, the Silent Disco, the Inflatable Church for your Rewind Wedding requirements, When Nature Calls, otherwise known as the Spend A Penny Arcade, funfair rides, and the kids’ zone with entertainment for little Rewinders.
