Twinwood 2024

Lily will be heading to Twinwood again this August in what is the highlight of her calendar year. Every year thousands flock to the site of the Glenn Miller Museum for an entire long weekend of music, dancing, shopping and fun.

The best part of the weekend is dressing up and seeing the incredible outfits put together by others. The festival sees styles from the 20s through to the 70s, featuring both true vintage and reproduction brands. This complements the spectrum of music displayed at all the venues and stages throughout the event.

There is the option to add to your collection from many stalls selling clothes, accessories and homeware. If you’ve spent all your spending money, there are educational elements too, you can take a look around the many museums on site. Learn about Glenn Miller’s connection with Twinwood, take a look at militaria from the first and second world wars, or even take a wander around Britain’s only wartime Fire Service museum.

Once you’ve done all that, it’s time to hit the dance floor for a bit of Lindy Hop or a stroll! Don’t know how? Not to worry, there are lots of dance classes over the weekend to teach you.
