Vintage fever arrives in Lisburn

Frock Around The Clock Vintage Fair bound for Lisburn

VINTAGE fever will be taking Lisburn by storm on September 22 when Northern Ireland's favourite vintage event, the fabulous Frock Around The Clock Vintage Fair, will be visiting the city for the first time, with an extravaganza of vintage treasures for sale and a big helping of timeless glamour, reminiscence and fun.

This popular event promises not to disappoint with an amazing line-up of over 40 Irish vintage dealers and creative designers offering a fantastic array of vintage and handmade fashion, jewellery, furniture, homewares, collectables, sweet treats and much more - it's the hottest shopping destination to find the coolest stuff on the planet for your wardrobe and home.

The impressive exhibitor list will include Curiosity Cured with vintage dresses from the 1950s and 1960s and handcrafted jewellery, Jenny Bond Interiors offering vintage and restyled furniture and homewares with an original twist, Strictly Vintage, specialists in high end American costume jewellery from the 1920s to 1960s, Loving Spoonful showcasing a gorgeous range of unique jewellery handcrafted from antique silver cutlery, and The Optimists specialising in antique and vintage dolls, toys and bears. Visitors will also be able to relax and revive in the pop-up tearoom run by The Tea Boutique NI, where all the scrumptious delights of afternoon tea will be served on pretty vintage china with a dollop of good old fashioned service on the side.

Frock Around The Clock is a Decadence Vintage production, and with 33 vintage events under their belt since launched in 2008 it is Ireland's longest running vintage fair.

Decadence creative director Becky Moore commented: "We are very excited to be bringing Frock Around The Clock to Lisburn and are looking forward to meeting new people and introducing our fantastic vintage sellers and creative designers to a wider audience. We have already received such a warm welcome in advance of our fair and are delighted to announce that thanks to our sponsors Lisburn City Centre Management and South Eastern Regional College (SERC) we are able to make this a free admission event in celebration of our first visit to the City."

Frock Around The Clock will take place from 11am to Spm at Castle House, opposite Castle Gardens, on Castle Street Lisburn, and admission to the event will be free.
