Everything’s a pound!

Posted on by

pound coinsWe all love bargains, right? And where better to bag a few than in our local charity shops?

If you’re a dedicated bargain hunter, this has to be a date for your diary – for three hours only on Sunday 30 November, any item in the Children’s Society shop on Middlegate in Newark can be yours for just one pound!

That’s right – from 11am to 2pm hundreds of items of ladies’ clothing will be up for grabs in this special sale, everything from tops and trousers to dresses and even coats.

And that’s not all. Kids’ clothing, jewellery, CDs, DVDs and games will all be two for £1 and you can pick up three books for £1 too!

With a tombola and cakes (yes, you’ve guessed it – they’re £1 as well), it all sounds like an opportunity that’s too good to be missed…

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.
