I really do not know where time has gone as we are organising our third vintage and retro fair at Haigh Hall on Sunday 7th April. We had hoped that the weather would be getting nicer seen as it is April, however we think it may be a cold day! Nevertheless we have organised a free spring hunt round the grounds of the Hall for the children.
The vinage fair will take place over two floors of Haigh Hall and in the enterance hall. We have lots of new stalls that haven’t displayed at Haigh Hall before as well as some old ones that have! As for entertainment we will have the lovely Bexi Owen, vocalist http://www.facebook.com/bexiowen?fref=ts, singing throughout the day, she will also have her own stall selling vintage. We also have a lovely model called Jennifer who will be on hand for any questions and giving out the spring hunt papers.
We also have some exciting news to share with you, as from next year we will be organising monthly vintage and retro fairs at Haigh Hall. However, back to the 7th April we have the following fab stalls coming:
