“There will be classic 70s vehicles on show, children's activities, a procession led by the Pipes and Drums around the town, dance workshops and a mass ‘Time Warp’ dance for everyone to join in, and much more.
“The themed events are always received well by our community and visitors, bringing fun and nostalgia. A non-stop all day event on the seafront lawns and De La Warr Pavilion for all ages. Dress up in your hippie, glam, disco or punk attire on Saturday, July 20. Let's rock the 70s!”
