A festival celebrating British fashion and music from the 1920s to the 1980s has been moved after poor ticket sales.

The Vintage festival was due to be held at the Boughton Estate near Kettering in Northamptonshire in July after previously being staged in London.

But it will now have a guest slot at the Wilderness festival in Oxfordshire on 10, 11 and 12 August.

Organisers said it was moved because of poor ticket sales and having to compete with other cultural events.

The three-day event was supposed to be held at Boughton House, the home of the Duke of Buccleuch.

A spokesman said: "With regret, this year's Vintage Festival is sadly not able to operate as a stand-alone event."

The organisers said existing Vintage ticket holders would be offered the chance to exchange their festival tickets or claim a refund.

Bill Pollard, who was due to exhibit the bomber-drome cycling wall of death at the festival, said: "A lot of hard work has gone into preparing for this Vintage so we are a little bit disappointed."
