GALLERY: THE RETURN OF THE HANDMADE & VINTAGE FAIR

The Handmade & Vintage Fair is proving its usual hit with shoppers in Middleton Hall in thecentre:mk today (Sat, Sept 5).

The treasure trove of goodies is a must-visit for those seeking unusual handmade gifts, clever creations or retro oddities – and there is plenty to engage with.

Among our most favoured stalls? Sewing for Utange, The Siren Vintage and Brocant Antique, who have a fabulous array of unique talking point pieces.

From antique dinner services and trinkets to modern jewellery with a twist, and from new knit baby attire to rarities from far away lands, H&V is well stocked with stalls and creators.

Why only play your vinyl, when you can wear it too? This event puts a different spin on your records. Or how about a huggable hippo made from denim? Or a Little Bow Bear, or a Little Bow dinosaur for that matter...

Hungry? A cookie monster cake will go well with a cup of coffee as you carry on soaking up the sights of the colourful stalls with their array of trinkets and long-forgotten toys, games and goods.

Fashionistas wanting to rock it in a retro style will find garb galore and there's so much more than we can share with you in the here and now.

Besides nothing beats a rummage of your very own, and you can do precisely that as the fair continues tomorrow too.

Admission is free.
