I Love North Shields Vintage Market | Handpicked. Reimagined

What to expect

A curated vintage market that goes beyond shopping — celebrating everyday heritage, creativity and culture in all its forms.

Alongside handpicked local vintage, antiques, vintage books, vinyl, workwear and clothing, you’ll find northern soul and analogue music culture, objects with stories, and stalls chosen for their character, usefulness and connection to everyday life. From local history books, postcards and maritime finds to fisherman knits, utility jackets, ceramics, records and one-off antique pieces, every trader is selected with care.

The day will also feature vintage-inspired experiences, offering plenty offering plenty of ways to step back in time and take something memorable home with you.

Expect creative activity throughout the market, from live demonstrations and making sessions to a North Shields–style sewing bee, celebrating repair, reuse and practical skills. Music will run through the day, rooted in northern soul, vinyl culture and timeless classics, creating a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where people can browse, chat and linger.

This isn’t a car-boot sale or fast-fashion fair. It’s a slower, story-led market where antiques, local vintage, heritage and creativity meet sustainability and community — with a mix of affordable finds, standout pieces and hands-on experiences.

Whether you come to browse, dance, learn, make or simply soak up the atmosphere,
I Love North Shields Vintage Market | Handpicked. Reimagined.
is about bringing the past into the present — and imagining how it can still shape the future.

We look forward seeing you!
