All REWIND 2024 Sunday nights will conclude with a fantastic firework display – what better way to end the weekend than with the skies being lit up with a stunning display.

And there’s more!!! Rewind Festival weekend is not just about who is performing on the main stage, but an event including other exciting entertainment such as the Silent Disco, funfair rides, kid-zone with entertainment for the little Rewinders, shops & stalls for jewellery, t-shirts, food & drink. And in Rewind Festival style you can get ‘married’ in the Inflatable Church! Yes, the big church of rubbery love is back once again rockin’ the retro vibes.

And for those wanting to make a whole weekend of it there’s the general camping area - the perfect place to pitch your tent along with Glamping opportunities available. Or for those not wanting a night under canvas there are Campervan or caravan pitches. And with shower and toilet facilities available within the campsite everything is only ever a short walk away.

Andy Ashton, Director of Content at Greatest Hits Radio Network added: “We’re delighted that Greatest Hits Radio will once again be the Official Partner at all three UK Rewind festivals this summer. Last year was such a huge success with a trio of incredible live events generating brilliant must-listen content for the station - and I’m sure that 2024 will be no different. I’m looking forward to seeing Greatest Hits Radio’s very own Jenny Powell on the Rewind stage and being able to share the action with all our listeners. The good times really do sound like this….!”
