ℹ️ ABOUT
Nestled in the picturesque village of Clapham, just outside Bedford, this festival is a unique homage to the music and culture of the 1930s to 1960s. With its origins rooted in the legacy of Glenn Miller, Twinwood Festival has grown into one of the most beloved vintage music festivals in the world.

The festival’s location is steeped in history. Twinwood Airfield was once a significant RAF base during World War II and is famed as the last place Glenn Miller was seen before his disappearance in 1944. There is something for everyone with a fashion show, children’s entertainment, cabaret, and comedy.

🎶 Music/ bands:
Attendees can enjoy performances from big bands, swing orchestras, and rockabilly groups, as well as everything from americana, jazz, soul, and blues.Please Click Here for the full band line up, running order and timings.

💃 Dancing lessons: Twinwood offers a wide range of FREE dance lessons during the festival to get you up and on those dance floors! With classes for complete beginners as well as more experienced dancers, there is something for everyone. There’s no need to sign up - you can just turn up and have fun!

🏛 The Twinwood Museums:
In addition to our vast array of live music, Twinwood Festival also hosts a large number of trader stalls, displays and museums, showcasing or selling all things vintage, from fashion and hairstyling, to arts and antiques, to motors and militaria. During Twinwood Festival on the August Bank Holiday weekend, the museums will be open exclusively to festival-goers, for the duration of the festival, free of charge.
