Lou Lou’s Vintage Fair was set up in 2008 and now travels all over the country, including to cities such as Norwich to Newcastle, Birmingham to Dundee. It is the UK’s largest roaming fair and has been named Best Vintage Fair in the UK.

Lou Lou Glover, The Vintage Fair Organsier said: “We’re excited to be coming back to Manchester Cathedral this weekend. We know that the area has a great vintage scene and can’t wait to meet a whole new host of vintage lovers.”

"I think it works because people who love vintage are always looking for something new and unique to add to their wardrobe. What we do is take the best traders in the whole of the UK and put them in one place so you know that if the Vintage Fair is in town you have a one stop shop to get the best Vintage goods and accessories that are on the market at that time.”

More information can be found on the Lou Lou Vintage website and Facebook, where you can also find out how to apply to become a trader.
