Regular readers of the mag will know all about the amazing vintage shopping options we have in Northern Ireland, and an event this weekend looks like being even more proof of that. Called ‘Frock Around The Clock’ (see what they did there?), it’s a major fair showcasing the best of Northern Ireland’s vintage sellers. In the organisers’ own words, it’s going to offer “a wide range of original vintage clothing for ladies and men, vintage accessories, homewares, costume jewellery, textiles and lace, vinyl, and also hand made bags, jewellery and clothing, recycled from vintage textiles.”

So basically, if you have any interest in, well, any beautiful or rare old gear, make sure you head down. It takes place this Saturday, November 1 at the Wellington Park Hotel in Belfast, between 10.30am and 4.00pm. Admission on the door is £5, but £3.50 for students and children under 16 go free. ‘Frock Around The Clock’ is planned to be a quarterly event, with the next instalment due in February.
