The adjoining Sunken Gardens will host our vintage car boot sale, popup shops including vintage hair salon, art workshops and activities with a range of partners including Boom Studios, Seacourt Print Workshop, Bangor Camera Club and North Down Museum.

One of the highlights will be the popular vintage car and bike show in Queen's Parade car park, where more than 100 vehicles from across Northern Ireland will compete in seven best in class categories, including Best Original Car, Best Classic Car, and the new Best American Classic Car. Judging and presentation will take place on the day and all registered entrants will receive an official Seaside Revival commemorative certificate. Cars must register in advance.
