The popular seaside town of Brighton is well known as being both funky and fashionable, with a strong retro and vintage trend. It’s packed with a variety of great shops from Snooper’s Paradise, The North Laine Antiques & Flea Market, and In My Room in the North Laines, to Brighton Flea Market and InRETROspect in Kemptown. And these are only a few of my favourite places to track down a bargain – there’re plenty more to discover!
There are also a couple of fairs, the best known having moved from the station car park to the marina. BUT – surprisingly, there’s never been a dedicated vintage, retro and 20thC design fair…until now…
My friend, the innovative and progressive Chris Marks, has just founded Umbrella Fairs which holds its first fantastic ‘Brighton Retro Fair’ on Saturday May 14th at the Brighton & Hove City College on Pelham Street. Dozens of the best vintage and retro dealers from across the country will gather here, right in the heart of the trendy North Laines, from 10am to 4pm. It’s close to the railway station, there’s ample parking nearby, and there’s a whole plethora of places to eat and drink in the sun. Unfortunately, I can’t go as I have to go to Birmingham, but what’s stopping you? Knowing Chris, I’m absolutely sure you won’t regret it.
