A vintage vinyl fair is coming to Urmston this month

A vintage and vinyl fair with one-of-a-kind pieces and rare records is coming to Urmston later this month.

Hosted by So Retro at The Venue on Sat 26 Apr, visitors will be able to peruse 25 specialist traders showcasing everything from retro homeware, clothing, jewellery, accessories and vinyl records.

There will also be hands-on craft workshops, offering the chance to create your own lampshade or tealight lantern to take home, led by expert Sarah from The Gingham Flamingo. Prices start at £20 and include all materials, access to the fair and refreshments during the class, and pre-booking is essential as there are limited spaces.

Street food vendors will be on hand to keep shoppers fuelled up, there’ll be a barista-style coffee cart and even a ‘vintage bar’ pouring craft beers, wines and cocktails.

“We’re thrilled to bring this eclectic mix of vintage shopping to Urmston again”, says Michelle Barratt, founder of So Retro Events. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to discover hidden treasure and soak up the retro atmosphere, and we’re very excited to bring interactive workshops to our event for the first time!”

The So Retro Vintage and Vinyl Fair runs from 10am – 3pm and entry is £2 on the door.
