Website Founded in 2013 Jack Up Events is an Event Management company that has developed from running a flagship retro festival on the Isle of Wight to broadening into other decade-themed events throughout the year. Our guiding star is to deliver affordable high-quality, locally-accessible cultural entertainment for an audience that includes visitors seeking an Island attraction and anyone who wishes to indulge in their youth, reliving happy memories whilst coming together to make new ones. The catalyst is the annual Jack Up The Summer retro festival, an independent grassroots event (5,000 capacity), which takes place annually over the second weekend in August.
