New Venue

As some of you probably all ready heard we have had to move out of our usual venue The Tradesclub on Castle Street so we have to postpone our weekly markets in the run up to xmas but we are on the search for a new one and will keep you posted!

THIS Saturday

We're back this Saturday with www.Forget-me-knot-vintage.com and www.littlebluecottage.com vintage clothing and accessories. Check out their wares, stay for tea and cake! We're open from 1-5pm upstairs in the Tradesclub, 2 Castle Street.

DATE CHANGE

Hellooooo Frivollers, just to note we have had to change the date of the next market from the 20th of August to the 27th. Sorry about that but we promise the usual fun n frolics, Djs, crafts and lovely goodies to browse. 12-5pm back in our old haunt the Tradesclub on Castle Street.

We're also looking for any budding artists to help with the next range of posters which we put up for sale at the market. Please email frivolousfare@gmail.com

The Frivolous Fare at Cairde

Here's some pictures taken by the lovely Gigi Wallas at the last market in Colemans on Stephens Street. Thanks to all who helped make it happen especially the amazing Cairde girls Grainne and Tara. The location was perfect and with all the work that went into decorating the outside, who could miss us!

Next Market July 9th in Stephens Street Car Park 12-6

This Saturday we will have Me Auld China, Retrorumage, Association Brasil, Little Blue Cottage, Vinyl Junkie, Forget Me Not Vintage and Kate's Cakes and a whole lot more. Come on down for some face painting, music, fun and frivolities from 12-6pm.

CAIRDE July 9th in Stephens Street Car Park

Our next market will be held in Stephens Street Car Park in the middle of Sligo town and we're very excited to be part of this wonderful family festival. There will be many fab events on over the week so be sure to checkout the events page and get booking those tickets www.cairdefestival.com


We are SUPER excited to have Me Ould China traveling up from Dublin to sell their wares. Here's a little bit of info on them.


We love vintage china! Me Auld China is a new business making beautiful cake stands from vintage and antique plates. This is our first visit to Sligo and we can't wait. We've been in a production frenzy and have lots of new beauties. 

There will be hand-made 1-tier, 2-tier, 3-tier and 4-tier stands, along with other cool vintage china. All cake stands made by Me Auld China are one-of-a-kind, ensuring your piece is truly individual and unique. The plates may come pre-loved, or with some crazing, which simply adds to their charm.
It all started with a beautiful 3-tier 1950s cake stand bought for our wedding in 2009. I fell in love with vintage cake stands from the moment I set eyes on it, but discovered they are very hard to get your hands on!! Since then I've been collecting vintage china plates to recreate the authentic feel of the beautiful cake stands from the past. We offer a bespoke "Pimp your Plates" service to give Granny's plates a new lease of life, and our lovely china collection is also available to hire for weddings, tea parties or any occasion at all.

www.meauldchina.com has all the low-down.
