Back in the beautiful city of Bath, their Vintage & Antiques Market, held on the last Sunday of every month at Green Park Station, has a good mix of everything - mid-century furnishings, jazzy retro frocks and one-of-a-kind antiques. While Vintage to Vogue can style you in top quality fashion, from the 1900s onwards, then have it tailored specifically to your shape. Very dapper! And there are exceptional restaurants to stop and refuel wherever the need takes you - keep an eye out for The Circus, Acorn and The Olive Tree at The Queensberry Hotel. Nearby Bristol is known for its alternative outlook, making it a go-to place for vintage and offbeat fashion finds. Established in 1743 St Nicholas Market is the oldest and best loved market in Bristol, famous for some of the best food in the city, or head to Stokes Croft and adjoining Gloucester Road - the longest street of independent shops in the UK. There you’ll discover artfully-curated charity shops alongside intriguing second-hand stores (with lots of hip cafes in between for when you need a coffee break). Love tea? Learn all about the art of tea blending and tea tasting at a Bird & Blend Tea Masterclass. Good to know: If you’re a guy or gal who likes Americana, Uncle Sam’s on Park Street is the best place to find a pair of cowboy boots or classic Levis you can cherish forever. SUSTAINABLE FASHION Try and catch one of the Duck Pond markets, which take place regularly in various scenic locations not far from London such as Henley-on-Thames and Chalfont St Giles. Their ethos is local, ethical and sustainable, so you can feel good about supporting the planet as well as local businesses when you buy.
