Vintage Market Day at Alberton
Auckland has the green light to go into level one and our first big spring/summer event at Alberton is our VINTAGE MARKET DAY taking place in two weeks on Sunday 18 October Whoop!
Not a huge market but very cool for anyone into antique, vintage and retro rummaging to shop in our historic setting! There will be nearly nearly 20 established dealers and expert fossickers, with beautifully curated stalls of antique linen, fine china tea sets, jewellery & acessories, kitchen & tableware, vintage clothing and haberdashery, vinyl records and more.
Learn how to refresh old furniture with a lick of paint with Julie from Troupes & Wyatt who will be demonstrating with Fusion Mineral Paints. Special guest nonagenarian eggcup collector Johnny Green will also be on site all day with his incredible mobile egg-cup museum!
To sustain you while you shop there will be crepes, coffee, gelato, and Mummy's Yummys pop-up bakery serving homemade, traditional treats. Old-fashioned games such as stilts, quoits and croquet will keep the children entertained.
Raffle prize hamper of vintage goodies and gift vouchers from Junk & Disorderly, Antique Alley and Yvonne Sanders Antiques up for grabs!
Make a day of it and visit Balmoral's super Central Flea Market run by the folk at Junk & Disorderly. Its 8am-1pm. Double whammy!
Alberton Vintage Market Day!, Sunday 18 October, 11am-3pm. FREE ENTRY. See the event for stallholders and all the details. Put it in the diary!
