VINTAGE FAIR IN GLOUCESTER

I am quite a lover of all things vintage and girly, Mostly thanks to charl! @aplaceonthebookshelf.

So when I came across this on a Facebook page the first thing I thought was to straight away tag her.

It was being held on the outskirts of Gloucester town and after couple peoples help to get to the right place we where finally here. It was held in a beautiful church so it had a lovely setting and for an entry fee of only a pound. Was worth every penny, They had a BBQ, music, dancers and over 30 stalls of crafts and vintage including hat, crafty headband and makeup stall.

Some of the more modern punk jewellery available.

The outside gardens where lovely, And the dancers where incredible!

I found most of the stalls turned out to be jewellery which I loved, I got myself a few things as I went round. What I did find thou, that they sold a lot of clip of earrings which was slightly disappointing. But they made up for it which the beautiful brooches and clothes available to buy.

The awesome hat!!

Beautiful clip on earrings.

Some of the range of clothes and Aprons, this stall was lovely because they also did clothes for the little ones, like little bibs.

A beautiful brush, and comb set.

Overall if took us a good two and a half hour to go through all the stalls, I wish I had brought more than £30.00 with me. But if I had more money I would have gone overboard especially with the dresses.

The only other thing there was being my first vintage fair I didn't know what to expect but when I got the leaflet I saw vintage tea room, Got me thinking that would be a lovely place to go for lunch. However it was more of a staff room cafe. So after we finished at the fair we ventured back into town for some lunch.

Food and Drink festival Cheltenham 2014

If you're a food lover this sure if the place for you, This is held once a year for three days at Montepellier Gardens, Cheltenham. Attracting people from all over the county and Exhibitors from all over England.

I was hoping I would go this year due to the fact last year I was so busy with work I didn't get a chance ( even thou I lived opposite the dam thing.

The food court.

This place was an adventure for your tastebuds. I tried wild boar, home made fresh lemonade and the best fudge! I went with my other half John who likes to be adventurous with food so this was a good day out. Inside the food court there are loads of stalls and outside you have more, with the drink stalls and the music stage. For only £3.00 entry we where impressed, I think the tickets go up to £7.00 on the weekends.

Honeycomb stand

This is a place to not go if you're hungry, everything is appetising. From fresh honeycomb, which was so sweet and succulent, to very hot chilli jam to mango salsa.

We did get very lucky because the weather on friday was fantastic, Maybe a little too hot for my liking! I currently have sun burn as I am writing this which is agony.
