A huge vintage fair with retro car displays and vintage bus rides is coming to Stockport

Retro cars, stalls packed with vintage clothes, live music, and dancing like no one’s filming you on a smart phone – that’s all coming to Stockport again this summer with the return of the Vintage Spectacular.

So Retro Events will be back in the town centre this July, drawing thousands of people for shopping, entertainment, and even vintage bus rides.

When it took place last year, The Vintage Spectacular attracted thousands of people to the marketplace for vintage treasure hunting.

And now it’s time for another go, this year popping up at Stockport Market Hall on Sunday 12 July.

There’ll be dozens of stalls selling everything from clothing, accessories and jewellery, to homeware, ceramics and artwork.

You’ll also be able to go digging for vinyl records from across the decades.

Fashion expert Sophie Yesufu will be offering free colour analysis sessions so you can rummage for your perfect new (but old) look.

And The Vintage Beauty Parlour will also be popping up to help you wrestle your hair into a classic victory roll.

There’ll be free vintage bus rides around Stockport town centre, thanks to RM Coaches.

You can admire the retro cars that will park up outside the Market Hall for the occasion, along with a retro bike display of classic choppers from the Old School Cranks.

Leeds City Stompers will be performing blues, swing, ragtime and jazz, with a setlist dating back to the 1920s-1950s.

So Retro Events founder Michelle Barratt said: “We had an amazing time at the market hall last year.

“I loved seeing people from all generations enjoying all the vintage stalls and entertainment and the atmosphere was incredible!”

The Vintage Spectacular by So Retro Events will take place on Sunday 12 July from 11am until 4pm.

Tickets will be £3 in advance, or £5 on the door, and you can grab yours HERE.
