So Last Century Vintage Market at the Mansion

13th April 2020 @ 10:00 - 16:00

FREE

Spring is here at last, and on Easter Monday So Last Century returns again to Beckenham Place Mansion.

On the day there’ll be a stunning, hand picked selection of 25+ top-quality vintage traders, in the Atrium, Drawing Room, Dining Room and outside. You can expect to find mid-century decor, lighting, homeware and furnishings, original travel posters, prints, antique maps and etchings, brocante, clothing, accessories, jewellery, and much more.

There’ll be street food outside, including incredible, wood-fired pizza by Van Dough, mouthwatering bao buns and noodles by You Bao, delicious burritos, tacos and quesadillas by Route 66, tasty free-range sausage baguettes by Camper, plus excellent coffee by Beats & Grind and amazing brownies by Slate ‘n’ Crumb. The excellent Basement Bar, and the Mansion Cafe, will also be open.

The resident artists will be opening their studios on the first floor where you can see their amazing work, some of which will be available to buy. Several of the artists’ studios on the the lower ground floor may also be open.

Don’t forget to check out Know How You Sewing School in their studio on the ground floor.

And finally, not to be missed, is the fascinating Visitor Centre run by The Friends of Beckenham Place Park. Crammed with artefacts, maps, and documents, you can find out about the rich history of the Park.

So come along on Easter Monday and find lots of vintage treasures, explore the mansion and enjoy the beautiful park while you’re there!
