Cultural Experiences
Join So Last Century for their 10th anniversary and a big August Bank Holiday
Vintage Market at the Mansion
!
50 great vintage traders from across London, the south east and further afield, will be gathered in Beckenham Place Park with more wonderful things to discover and buy.
Inside and around the Mansion you’ll find mid 20th century and vintage furniture, lighting and interior decoration, homeware, original posters, prints, antique maps and charts, books, records, French brocante, salvage, vintage clothes (children's, too), and more.
Most traders take card payments, and will deliver locally if you want to buy something big, like an armchair.
There’ll be delicious street food, a coffee van, and a brownie stall, outside. In addition, the excellent
Mansion Bar and Cafe
will be serving draft beer, hot and cold drinks, and snacks.
The brilliant
Alvar Treefrogs
, will be back with us again, knocking out New Orleans jazz tunes on the grass at the back of the Mansion.
