Join us for So Last Century’s big August Bank Holiday Vintage Market at the Mansion!
More than 50 great vintage traders from across London, the south east and further afield, will be gathered in Beckenham Place Park with thousand of wonderful things to discover.
Inside and around the Mansion you’ll find gorgeous mid 20th century and vintage furniture, lighting and interior decoration, ceramics, homeware, original posters, prints, antique maps and charts, books, records, French antiques, gardenalia, summer and autumn fashion (including mens’ and children’s), and plenty more unsual and unique things to lay your hands on.
All traders take card payments, and many will deliver if you want to buy something big, like a dining table.
There’ll be delicious street food, a coffee van, and a brownie stall outside. In addition, the excellent Mansion Bar and Cafe will be serving cold draft beer, hot and cold drinks and ice cream.
Our fabulous Market band, The Alvar Treefrogs, will be back with us again, busking in their inimitable style, with trad jazz on the grass at the back of the Mansion.
Visit KnowHowYou sewing school on the Ground Floor of the Mansion and check out the various classes and courses they have to offer, and delve into Verso Vintage shop in the basement.
