We can’t wait to bring So Last Century’s Winter Vintage Market at the Mansion back to Beckenham Place Park this December, with a festive event spread over two days!
On Saturday and Sunday there’ll be a great collection of 40 of the best vintage traders, inside and outside the Mansion. You can expect to find mid-century decor, lighting, furniture, ceramics and glass, homeware, books, records, prints, antique maps and charts, brocante, salvage, vintage designer clothes, accessories and lots more.
There’ll be mouth-watering street food and brownies outside, and the excellent Mansion Bar & Cafe will be open too, serving mulled wine and hot drinks.
Several of the Mansion’s resident artists will have their studios open at the weekend, and on Sunday, the wonderful Beckenham Place Park Food and Farmer’s Market will be joining us.
Call in to KnowHowYou Sewing School on the Ground Floor of the Mansion and see the various classes and courses they have to offer. And don’t forget to have a rummage in the Verso Vintage shop in the basement
So put on your warmest coat and come along on Saturday or Sunday for lots of Christmas present inspiration, and an abundance of unusual and unique things to buy. Enjoy the beautiful park while you’re there!
