The Vintage Bazaar

After 18 months, The Vintage Bazaar is back! This wonderful fair has been established for more than ten years and showcases a veritable cornucopia of delights from some of the very best vintage sellers from across the South-West and beyond. The fair has a very well-deserved reputation as one of the top vintage fairs in the UK, having featured several times in the national press, as well as attracting regular visitors from as far as Italy.

On Saturday 30th October from 9.30am to 2pm, its regular home the Cheese & Grain in Frome will once again be filled with vintage and antique finds. Frome, Somerset is a fantastic town that has gained a great reputation for its quirky selection of independent shops on the famously steep and very picturesque Catherine Hill and is well worth a visit after you have shopped at the fair.

You will find wonderful French Brocante, vintage theatrical costumes, beautiful period clothing, textile treasures from France, shoes and accessories from the 1920s to the 1970s, wonderfully faded antique fabric and textiles, lace, linen, jewellery, homewares and collectables. Many dealers save their best stock for the fair, and it shows, the displays are stunning.

As well as all this there will also be some beautiful handmade items, all with a vintage influence, so it’s a great opportunity to get some early Christmas gifts too, or maybe something unique for your home. There is always a great selection of home furnishings made from French linens and toiles, vintage fabrics and unique floral velvets. Clothing made from antique linen, bags from vintage quilts and linens are also on show.

This is a really friendly fair with a relaxed atmosphere and knowledgeable sellers who are always ready to help. Entrance £2. Refreshments available
