Do you enjoy affordable vintage style, or perhaps quirky creations made by local hands? Perhaps you’re a little strapped for cash after Christmas, or simply prefer to buy unique goods or items that have been made from lovingly recycled materials? On Sunday 5th February, Telfords Warehouse will be playing host to a Vintage and Handmade Fayre from 12-5pm. The event is free to attend, so why not pop along for a browse at some lovely local handmade and vintage stalls. From handmade jewellery, soaps and bath bombs, patchwork quilts and knitted lovelies, to vintage style clothing, collectables, inspired gifts and much more.  After taking a look at all of the fabulous items we have on sale, you can also enjoy a beverage or sit down for a meal in Telfords Warehouse’s fantastic bar and restaurant.

Do you have any unwanted clothes that you think someone else would like to offer a new home? Why not take part in our Free Clothes Swap stall. Bring along any men’s or women’s clothing and bags in a good, clean condition and swap them for free at our stall. One ticket will be given per item, which you can use to purchase anything else our stall has to offer and give someone else’s unwanted outfits a little love.

For more information and a taste of what will be on offer on Sunday 5th February, check out our event page on Facebook ‘Vintage and Handmade at Telfords Warehouse’, or contact our team at vintageandhandmade@hotmail.co.uk.

Open Mic Session with Baby Brave & The Lovebites

Free Entry

Emily & Jo picked up their paintbrushes and proceeded to create a series of earnestly peculiar lyrics and sunny folk-pop melodies, splattered with adorable harmonies and contagious catchiness. With a healthy dose of welsh heart from guitarist ‘The Lovebites’, the Braves are sure to get your toes tapping. Expect to be charmed by flute solos, feverish guitar riffs, hypnotic hands and a ukulele named Fiona.
