Pickering 60s Festival is a free annual event held in the small market town of Pickering, North Yorkshire. It is organised by a small committee of people and paid for by local fund raising events. Having now had four successful years the Pickering 60s Festival committee is currently busy planning its fifth year to be held on Thursday 7th, Friday 8th and Saturday 9th June 2012.

The Pickering 60s Festival event is held over 2 days of which the main attraction is live sixties music from both headline and local bands. Other activities include a parade of classic sixties vehicles, fancy dress, period hairstyling, memorabilia stalls, kiddies rides and much more. During the evening on each day of the event there is a local 60s tribute band in each Public House in Pickering. Simply pick your place and carry on the celebrations into the following morning.

Finally if you would like to support the Pickering 60s Festival in any way then please contact us or simply send us a donation. In return we will put your name or company name in our sponsors section and link back to your website. If you have already donated in any way then, thank you very much, we appreciate your support.
