Newcastle Does Vintage Tomorrow 17/11/2012!

We're SO excited about Newcastle Does Vintage tomorrow!

It's nearly time, for our first ever vintage event in Newcastle, and remember, it's more than just a vintage fair - it's a vintage experience! 

We're at the Theatre Royal from 10:30am to 5pm and we can offer the lovers of vintage in Newcastle over thirty quality vintage stalls, offering clothes, memorabilia, kitchenalia, crafts and whole lot more.  And - that's not all!  We've also got a  gorgeous tearoom, beauty bar, children's glitter tattoos, children's face painting, and the Moon Booth vintage photographers will be there too.

As always at our events there's a brilliant free workshop.  This time you can bring an old book along and can learn how to turn it into a wonderful quirky Christmas tree in preparation for the festive season!  You don't need to reserve a place on this workshop, just turn up.

Plus, we've got a special competition where they best dressed person can win a prize!  Last week at Harrogate Does Vintage we spotted this lovely lady in the photo on the left, looking fab in her vintage outfit.  You can always post any pics you take during the day of yourself decked out in your vintage finery to our Facebook page's wall.  We'd love to see your photos from the day. 

So, don't forget to bring your camera!  You get all of this for just £1 entry.  It's a great place to start that Christmas shopping and get some really unique gifts for your friends and family!  We're looking forward to meeting you tomorrow.
