As mentioned in my previous post, Jacobs Antique Market held a vintage fair last Sunday (15th January). I really wanted to attend but had an exam the next day so was unable to go. However, my Mum went along and managed to take some photos and write a short review:
“After paying my £1 admission fee, I ascended the stairs to the third floor of the Jacobs Market building on West Canal Wharf to explore the delights of their second vintage fair which returns every third Sunday of the month.
Although the permanent stalls are still accessible on the preceding floors, some of the stall holders, such as Eagle Eye Vintage and Jake and Jase with their retro album stall, had migrated to the third floor to join in the atmosphere.

There was an interesting assortment of visiting stalls, including Sewing Birds, a haberdashery shop based in Penarth who also provide an alteration service if your favourite “get-up” doesn’t fit or if you want to remodel its appearance, and an array of other stalls selling a wide range of clothes and accessories, such as vintage hats and exotic hair clips.

Visitors to the fair also included a couple of 1940s re-enactors, striking an eye-catching pose in their retro costumes.
The Happy Cupcake Kitchen stall provided the refreshments and the musical entertainment was delivered by the youthful ukulele band Ukulele Nights and up-and-coming band Jam with RoBina, which made the event an upbeat family occasion.”
Stalls are available to rent and the fair returns on Sunday, 18th February.
