A day of Blues, Swing and Rock'n'Roll live music, dancing, vintage cars and a vintage street market is being laid on at Chrisp Street Market as it jives back in time to its 1950s' Festival of Britain roots on July 21.

Swingers can dust off their dancing shoes and shimmy onto the floor at Poplar's Chrisp Street Market for another Swing East music festival of jitterbugging and jiving as you rock around the clock from 12 noon to 7pm.

The annual hellraiser comes with a vintage market with retro clothes and vintage cars being laid on by Poplar Harca housing organisation, topped with real ales, food stalls and plenty of children's activities.
