The York Indie Flea

The York Indie Flea returns to the York Railway Institute on Sunday 8 November, with The Big York Vintage Flea Market as the main draw. It's a one-day affair, so if you're planning to go, it's a Sunday morning or afternoon thing rather than a whole weekend.

The vintage fashion is the big one here, with racks of second-hand clothes to dig through. Alongside that, there's jewellery, artisan products, art and prints, and homewares — the kind of mix where you might go in for a specific piece of clothing and come out with a new vase or a print for the wall. Furniture also makes an appearance, so it's not just small bits and bobs you can carry home in a bag. There are sweet treats and fresh coffee on hand too, which is handy if you're spending a few hours working your way through the stalls.

The Railway Institute is on Queen Street, just off the city centre, so it's easy enough to get to. Entry is £3 online, and under 16s go free, so it's a cheap enough outing if you're bringing the family along. It's on Sunday 8 November, at the York Railway Institute, 24 Queen Street, YO24 1AD.
