DROP IN SESSIONS & UP - CYCLING WORKSHOPS
Vintage will showcase just how cultural, creative and utterly cool us Brits are but will also look at our social values and how they’ve changed drastically from one decade to another.
There are lots of hands-on thrifty activities and workshops available for all you crafty sorts. We believe in Up-cycling; taking a discarded material or product and creating it into something more useful and more attractive. We take a sense of wartime make-do-and-mend austerity and apply it to a modern sense of sustainability and respect for the environment. There is something for all ages and abilities.
