So Last Century Vintage Market
18th April 2021 @ 10:00 - 17:00
Free
At long last we’re out of hibernation, and excited to welcome in the Spring with So Last Century Vintage Market at the Mansion at Beckenham Place Park this April!*
On the day there’ll be a stunning, hand-picked selection of 30 of the best vintage traders, outside and in the Ground Floor rooms of the Mansion. You can expect to find mid-century furniture, lighting, homeware and ceramics, original posters, prints, antique maps and charts, brocante, salvage, fashion, accessories and much more.
There’ll be delicious street food outside, including gorgeous wood-fired pizza by Van Dough, mouthwatering bao buns and noodles by You Bao, tasty burritos, tacos and quesadillas by Route 66, delicious kati rolls by Raastawala plus excellent coffee by Beats & Grind and amazing brownies by Slate ‘n’ Crumb. We also hope to have an ice cream trike if it’s sunny!
In addition, the excellent Basement Bar will be serving craft ale amongst other tipples, and the Mansion Cafe will be operating a take-away service.
There’ll also be great live music! We’re very excited to welcome back The Alvar Treefrogs, a 6-piece band playing their own unique blend of New Orleans sounds! They’ll be busking out on the grass around lunchtime – make sure you catch them!
Don’t forget to call in to see our friends KnowHowYou Sewing School on the Ground Floor of the Mansion and find out about the various classes and courses they have to offer.
So come along on Sunday 18th April to find lots of vintage treasures, explore the mansion and enjoy the beautiful park while you’re there!

There will be a Contact Tracing system in operation.

The new car park has limited spaces.

If you do prefer to arrive by car we advise avoiding the busiest period (11am-2pm). Note that vehicle entry is only via the Beckenham Hill Road entrance ( Sat Nav: BR3 1SY) opposite the Church of St Augustine. If your GPS takes you elsewhere, try SE6 3PU instead, or use ///follow.skinny.fade

There is on-street parking close to the Downham entrance on Old Bromley Road (Sat Nav: BR1 4LE) and near to Ravensbourne Station, (Sat Nav: BR3 5HE).
