Taking place across two beautiful vintage venues situated streets away from each other in Kings Cross, from 3.30pm – 1.00am, the “It’s a Wonderful Vintage Jubilee Jamboree ” invites attendees on a journey back in time to the ‘Cool Britannia’ of 1952-53 by recreating the pomp, ceremony and era when HRH Princess Elizabeth first became Queen.

A strictly vintage dress up, tickets in advance only occasion, this is for swing dancers and none swing dancers alike and for all vintage style lovers and adorers of 1940s and 1950s dress up, glamour, music, accessories, frolics and fun, fun fun. Think finery befitting of a 1952 Queens’ presence, so that’s anything from vintage tiaras, ball gowns, top hats and tails to tea dresses, Sunday best suits, cardigans, big full skirted dresses and even zoot suits for the chaps.

The “It’s a Wonderful Vintage Jubilee Jamboree” antics kick off with a ‘Festival of Britain’ style warm up party at 3.30pm -7.00pm at real ale pub, The Queens Head, Kings Cross, where there will be old fashioned sing alongs around the piano and ukelele, cupcakes and cream teas from Julie Madly Deeply (vintage tea party purveyor), tarot readings, a pop up vintage hair and make-up booth from The Vanity Box, clothing stall from Vivien of Holloway and acres and acres of vintage Union Jack bunting.
