Preston venue Chew’s Yard is set to host two spring markets bringing together vintage fashion, independent makers, and live music.
On Sunday 15 March, the Mother’s Day Vintage Market will run from 12pm to 5pm. The market will feature a curated collection of vintage womenswear and accessories from a range of experienced vintage traders.
Visitors are told to expect timeless fashion, statement pieces and one of a kind finds, perfect for treating a special mum, step mum, grandma, auntie, sister or daughter. Those who reserve a table in the food and drinks hall will be in with the chance of winning a bottle of Prosecco.
On Saturday 28 March from 11am to 4pm, the Easter Arts Market will showcase a mix of local makers and artists offering everything from vegan bakes and handmade jewellery to hair accessories, crafts, candles, original prints, vintage homewares and crackers.
