Charity flea market selling vintage goods returns to Five Valleys
31 July 2024
A charity
flea market selling all different kinds of second-hand goods is to become a
regular fixture at Five Valleys after the first one was a runaway success.
Hundreds of
bargain-hunters attended the first event in July – and now the market will be
returning on Sunday, August 18, Sunday, September 15, and Sunday, October 13.
The event,
held between 11am and 2pm, gives visitors the chance to take a look around stalls selling everything from vintage ornaments and clothing to
bric-a-brac.
Kelly
Winkworth, Assistant Centre Manager at Five Valleys, said: “Our first event was
a huge success, and it was brilliant to see so many shoppers and stallholders
support the event.
“That is why
we have decided to make the flea market a regular event here at Five Valleys.
We would like to appeal for anyone who wants to take a stall at any of the
upcoming events, in particular the next one in August, to please come forward
and get in touch.
“This is an
ideal opportunity to have a root around in your house to see if there is
anything that could be sold on.”
The flea
market will also support Allsorts, which provides a range of activities for
children and young people with additional needs and disabilities, as well as
support groups for the whole family.
Based at
their Activity Hub in the Brunel Mall in Stroud, they provide a community where
friendship and memories are made and plenty of fun is to be had through their
huge amount of extra-curricular activities including toddler groups, youth
clubs and sports activities.
Spaces cost
only £10, with 50 per cent of this going to the Allsorts charity. (Any profit
made by attendees will be their own).
The event
will be held on the top level of the multi-storey car park. Only part of the
top level will be used for the market and the rest of the multi-storey will be
open as normal for visitors to use. The entrance and exits will also remain
open as normal.
Free parking
will also be given to all confirmed market traders (car registration will need
to be provided). Due to car park restrictions, the max height for vehicles is
two metres.
You will
need to bring your own table. To secure your spot, please contact Kelly
