Christmas shopping with a vintage twist

vintage fairIf you missed Bea’s Vintage & Craft Fair in Grantham back in May, here’s another chance – just in time for all that Christmas shopping!

The first fair was so successful, it will be back with a seasonal theme on Saturday 22 November, from 10am to 4pm at the Jubilee Church Life Centre.

With more than 30 stallholders selling vintage clothes, homeware, children’s new and pre-loved clothes and toys, shabby chic furniture, decoupaged gifts and other handmade items, you’re sure to find plenty of stocking fillers for family and friends, not to mention a few treats for yourself…

Emma Payne from The Vintage Head in Newark will be on hand again, ready to transform ladies into 40s film stars, complete with Victory Roll hairdos, makeup and false lashes, while local talent in the form of Elaine Bishop and Swing Nouveau will be entertaining visitors with some live themed music.

And there’ll be plenty of tempting treats on offer as you take Tea with Bea in the pop up vintage tea room, with traditional cream teas, scrumptious Victoria sponge and other gorgeous goodies, all served up on vintage china of course…

Admission to the fair, at 5 London Road in Grantham (NG31 6EY for satnav users), is just 50p – for more details call 07888 679118.
