JERRY CHATABOX SAYS
Last year saw a fantastic anniversary Rockabilly Rave followed by a sell-out Hot Rod Hayride and a record-breaking sold-out Rhythm Riot. We came home absolutely knackered but buzzing with excitement about the future of the rockin’ scene.
Then our Rave and Riot venue closed overnight. No warning. No explanation. No apology. A surprising end to 25 fantastic years at Pontins, but perhaps a timely one due to the lack of maintenance of the site and the chalets.
Our search for a new venue started immediately. It’s not easy to find great spaces for music and dancing, with superb quality accommodation, good food options and friendly staff, but we did! And at an award-winning holiday park.
Understandably, because Vauxhall Holiday Park is a massively popular site, we couldn’t get a Summer date for the Rave. The only date available was the end of March, so it was either take the March date, or close the Rave. Knowing how many people love the Rave and the joy it brings to thousands of fans from around the world, you’ll be thrilled to know we’re going ahead 27th-31st March 2025!
Come and enjoy all the usual Rave features, international acts and DJs spread over three venues, the biggest indoor vintage and retro marketplace, superb food options and, of course, the five star quality accommodation. Enjoy being back at a huge Rockabilly Rave full of people drinking, dancing and laughing, and just hanging out with their friends from around the world.
Rave on cats!
