Pick up some retro and vintage inspired costume, china, jewellery, accessories and other handcrafted items from our quirky range of trade stands. Enjoy the sophisticated sounds of the Swing Gals, one of Northern Ireland’s only all-girl vocal collectives, well known for their close harmonies and interpretations of jazz, pop and easy listening favourites.

Another highlight of the event will be the spectacular display of nostalgic games and attractions; Coconut shys, ‘Splat the Rat’ and ‘Hoopla’ to name but a few will keep the whole family entertained for hours. ‘Punch and Judy’ will also make an appearance as will Springhill’s very own fortune tellers ‘Mystic Meg and her sister Peg’.
