Free fair: Vintage at Manchester Cathedral

Step back in time with the Vintage at Manchester Cathedral Festival. Explore authentic vintage curios and collectables amid the impressive surroundings of Manchester Cathedral: from delicate homeware to delicious homemade cakes, the two-day fair celebrates artisan culture and couture,. Watch out for Vintage Beau and The Queen’s Drawers with their great fashion lines for guys, dolls and their cool kids. There will also be vintage glassware from Retro Treasures, classy kitchenalia from Wowie Zowie, finely-honed homeware from Viv’s Vintage – and much more. Your visit will be accompanied by the soothing sounds of A Train Swing and their glamorous dancers. And with two days of refined bank holiday browsing, you’ll have plenty of time for tea and cake from A Taste of Vintage’s pop-up café – or something stronger from the The Gin Society Bar and their trademark G&Ts and Prosecco cocktails. Admission is free.
