> ABOUT_THE_FESTIVAL

The Vintage Computer Festival GB is an international event to celebrate the history of computing.

First held in the US in 1997, the festivals now take place all over America and Europe. In 2010, Vintage Computer Festival came to Britain and was held at Bletchley Park with the National Museum of Computing. Organised by Simon Hewitt and backed by a team of volunteers the inaugural festival was a huge success. Differing from its US counterparts, Vintage Computer Festival GB includes live music and other aspects of popular culture.

Following a long hiatus, Vintage Computer Festival GB returns in 2026 to its new home at Aintree Racecourse.

We look forward to welcoming you to what will be a very special event.
