Vintage comes to Grantham

Posted on by

vintage fairLove the vintage look?

Here’s another date for your diary: Grantham’s first ever vintage fair, organised by Bea’s Boutique, takes place on Saturday 10 May.

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, Bea’s Vintage & Craft Fair is at the Jubilee Church Life Centre, from 10am to 4pm.

There’ll be live music and Emma Payne from The Vintage Head in Newark will be on hand too, transforming  ladies into 40s film stars, complete with Victory Roll hairdos, makeup and false lashes.

And while you’re there, why not take Tea with Bea in the pop up vintage tea room? Traditional cream teas, scrumptious Victoria sponge and other tempting treats, served up on vintage china – what’s not to like?!

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

There’ll be tea and coffee served on arrival, a delicious three-course lunch, a raffle and a fashion show featuring couture and vintage outfits and accessories from one of the biggest collections outside London. Not to mention the opportunity to enjoy a little retail therapy as you browse among a selection of stalls!

Tickets for the event are £25 each, with all proceeds going to the exciting £3.7 million Boultham Park Project, to improve the Grade 2 listed park, develop a café and shop, restore the old stable block and convert it to an education centre, restore the fountain, bandstand and the lake, improve lighting, pathways and seating.

Our favourite things…2

Hardly a week goes by without one of us dropping into Vintage2Versace to check out the latest stock in this treasure trove of beautiful things – June being the biggest culprit of course, it’s handbag heaven! Not to mention the hats, shoes, jewellery and the most extensive collection of vintage and couture clothing outside London…

And with coffee and cakes as tempting (well, almost!) as the goodies in the shop itself, The Secret Garden Café is a great place for a break from shopping or a quick catch-up with friends. What’s not to like?!

It’s also the venue for regular events and next month there’s a chance to celebrate Valentine’s Day in style in an evening which combines poetry and fashion.

From 7.30pm to 9.30pm on Friday 14 February there’ll be love poetry composed and read by Fiona Theokritoff and Deborah Tyler-Bennett as well as classic works read by John Knight, followed by a fashion parade of beautiful ballgowns and desirable dresses.

Wine and canapés will be served throughout the evening and tickets are on sale now, priced £15 each or £25 for two. Visit the shop at 6 Stodman Street, email admin@vintage2versace.co.uk or call 01636 676999 for more details and bookings.
