Milton Keynes Handmade & Vintage Extravaganza

There’s nothing quite like replacing the old with the new, the quirky, and the cool - all of which will be in ample supply with the return of the hugely popular MK Handmade & Vintage Extravaganza this March.

Returning to the centre:mk for its 16th year, this triannual event makes shopping for the unusual, the bespoke and the beautiful an absolute breeze, and is a great way to reinvigorate your home this spring.


Shoppers will want to get along nice and early on March 7 & 8 to peruse the stalls, connect with traders and find those must-have items, the likes of which you simply won’t find elsewhere.

As is customary, more than 130 stalls will replace the wide open space of Middleton Hall with the bustle of handcrafted, unique and retro goodies.

Antiques, authentic vintage, jewellery, toys, homewares, collectibles, ephemera, ceramics and glass, memorabilia, music, accessories, original art and gifts are just some of those items to shop for.

From vegan cakes to handmade teddies, fossils and trinkets, personalised gifts, jewellery and all manner of items in-between, MK H&V will get your tastebuds salivating, and your inner designer working overtime!

Among the weekend’s exhibitors, you’ll find colourful abstract artist Doodle and Squiggs, needle felt and crafts from Luna’s Lot and stallholders, and Erin and Janis Ardis with Alice Joseph Vintage.

The Busy Baking Company delivers baking kits for many dietary needs, and if you feel like a little tipple, Foxdenton Gin has a delicious array of flavours to tempt you.

This huge pop-up bazaar is one the biggest and best markets in the country, and gives a welcome space to talented designer-makers, artists, artisans and specialist dealers, who can’t be found on the high street.

“Everyone loves a good old rummage and there’s no better place to get stuck in than at this event!” promised organiser Jen Reeves-North, “We are also proud to be able to give a platform to hardworking creatives in our community who are delivering amazing items as standard. And if you are looking for awesome antiques, eccentric creations or a pretty adornment, Handmade & Vintage won't let you down.

“Entry is free, too, which means more pennies and pounds to spend on the stalls.

“This has turned from a market into a community of traders and shoppers, and the more the merrier. We hope you will be able to join us.”
