Show your local market a little love this Sunday

Posted on by

Looking for a way to spend an hour or two this Sunday?

Well, from 10am to 12 noon you’ll be listening to your favourite weekend show on Radio Newark of course.

But afterwards you’ll have plenty of time to head over to Newark town centre to browse among the stalls of this month’s Artisan, Pre-loved and Eco Market, which will be open from 9am to 3pm…

And if you’re tuned in to Girls Around Town first, you’ll have a good idea of what to expect thanks to this week’s guest who’ll be chatting to June about just that!

Ian Harrison will be on the phone to the studio in the second hour of the show to report on the first market in the series, which took place on Sunday 25 April.

He’ll have details too of some of the different things on offer this weekend – set in one of the oldest and most attractive market places in the whole of the UK, you’ll find a range of artisan traders, entertainment and food along with vintage finds and unique quirky crafts.

Make sure you’re listening online or tuned to 107.8FM from 11.10am to hear what Ian has to say before you wander into town to take a look for yourself.

Who knows, you might even be able to start your Christmas shopping early – that’s June’s plan anyway!

Something old, somewhere new

Posted on by

It’s all about vintage on the show this weekend!

Flashing back to the 40s and 50s, in the first hour Harriet Lawton from Visit Lincs Coast will be talking about an upcoming event which mixes the old and the new.

The ‘old’ is the theme of the event, the ‘new’ the fact that the little Lincolnshire town of Sutton-on-Sea is hosting the event for the very first time…

Vintage on Sea comes to Sutton on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 May, bringing a vintage market, Punch and Judy, classic cars and entertainment for all the family to the High Street between 11am and 5pm both days.

There’ll be plenty of live music throughout the weekend too. Jive to the sounds of Glen Miller and sing along to some of those silly wartime songs with Johnny Victory – and you’ll need your dancing shoes again to join in the fun as members of the Lincolnshire Lindy Hop Clubs and DJ Dr Swing take centre stage to teach you a few steps!

Hot on Harriet’s heels, Maxine Hoole-Jackson will be continuing the ‘something old, somewhere new’ theme in the second hour of the show.

She’ll be chatting to June and Rosalyn about her passion for vintage fashion and accessories, a passion that’s obvious to customers lining up to browse and shop at Rocket Retro.

Recently re-located to The Arcade in Newark, it’s a tiny treasure trove that reflects Maxine’s own colourful, quirky style. Find out where and how she sources the pre-loved items on sale and why giving a new lease of life to everything from t-shirts to tea dresses, boots to bags – and more –  is so important to her.

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon on Sunday for a touch of nostalgia with Harriet, Maxine and the Girls Around Town…
