The Original Vintage & Handmade Fair ™
Established 2008
Unique Handmade & Vintage Treasures
A Wonderful Alternative To The High Street!
The Vintage & Handmade Fair ™ is the creation of Jayne Soule & Michele Chivers.
The first and original Vintage & Handmade Fair was launched in 2008 and
featured by BBC Homes & Antiques Magazine.
The Fairs are a unique collaboration between a group of Artists, Designer-Makers & Vintage Dealers who either make wonderful Handmade items or sell gorgeous Vintage treasures.
If you love Vintage and Retro items & appreciate unique artistic creations,
then the Vintage and Handmade Fair is for you!
In addition to all of the lovely stalls there will be our popular tearoom
serving delicious homemade cakes as well as tea and coffee on vintage tea ware.
