A vintage and antiques fair offering clothing, accessories and collectables in a historic setting.
Lou Lou's Vintage Market is back at St. Mary's Church on Saturday 17 October, the latest edition of the antiques and vintage fair that's built up a proper following here in Portsmouth. It's a treasure trove of vintage traders, with clothing, accessories and collectables on the tables, so it's as much for the clothes-hunting as it is for the oddities.
If you're not already familiar with the city's market scene, Lou Lou's sits alongside a few other regulars that have become a mainstay of life in Portsmouth. There's the Commercial Road market in the city centre every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, where you'll find street food, gifts, clothing, hardware, flowers and fresh produce. On Mondays, the Cosham Precinct market brings plants, clothing, hardware and fresh produce to the west of the city. And on the first and third weekend of each month, the Love Southsea Markets on Palmerston Road bring together local makers and creatives.
Lou Lou's does its own thing within that mix. It's pitched as a chance to pick up gifts or mementoes you won't find anywhere else, and to get closer to the artists, bakers and creatives who live and work in the city. It's a vintage fair, but it's as much about the people behind the stalls as the things they're selling.
