This Year Take A Trip Down Memory Lane at The Christmas Mid Century Market

The sparkle of costume jewellery glitters in the winter light, kitsch homeware sits nestled in between vintage dresses and retro inspired illustrations and the warm smiles of happy shoppers brightens up the rooms of Cecil Sharp House on Sunday 13^th September at the Mid Century Market.  Sounds irresistible yes? Two years on from when Bettina Scarlett introduced her latest event to London town, the Mid Century Market has been runner up in the Vintage Guide to London’s Best vintage fair after just three events and has had rockabilly fanatics, fashionistas and vintage lovers alike travelling from as far as Finland to what has become one of London’s most innovative and exciting vintage fairs and this Christmas will be no different.

The market opens its doors to 1950s lovers from 11am until 4.30pm showcasing the best traders that specialise and have a passion for that bygone era of glamour, the 1950s. Whether you are on the hunt for presents for friends and family in the way of unique handmade jewellery from Bow and Crossbones or Splendette, or perhaps an out of this world Christmas party dress from Vera Mode, Bettina Scarlett takes pride in having only but the finest vintage sellers and 1950s inspired brands from around the UK and when customers come down, they will already know what they want to buy, why? Because at the Mid Century Market, you don’t have to spend hours hunting high and low for something that may catch your eye but for an extortionate price, you will be blown away by the array of beauties that await you when you walk in the door. 

Not in a rush? Why not sit back and relax with friends and enjoy the social atmosphere and listen to DJ’s hark back to that era of rockabilly and good ole rock n roll, the Mid Century Market isn’t just a vintage fair, it’s a gathering of friends who share the same passion for vintage and everything from the Hollywood era of Marilyn and Elvis. With this in mind, why not get your hair styled by our resident vintage hair stylist the Vanity Box who has over 10 years experience and will know how to get you looking like the pin up you always wanted to be. So with nothing else to add, what are you waiting for?
