This year's Big Lunch coincides with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee weekend on Sunday 3rd June and we will be lunching in the grounds of Bangor Castle / Town Hall where our Frock Around The Clock Vintage Fair will be appearing for 2 days. There will be lots of vintage attractions going on as well as a fab line-up of live music so bring your family, and a picnic, and join us for some right royal fun.

Inside the vintage fair we will have a pop-up vintage tea tent run by Carrie of The Tea Boutique, where you can sit in and eat cake and drink tea from vintage china or purchase a take away afternoon tea and eat it in the Castle grounds. A scrumptious way to spend time with family, friends, neighbours, and get to meet new people!

It's now only 3 weeks to our Frock Around The Clock at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, which is only one part of a great big line-up of weekend festivities on Sunday 3rd & Monday 4th June.

The vintage fun actually starts on the Saturday night with the RETRO JUBILEE JAM brought by Swing Belfast to the North Down Museum, where everyone is invited to dress up and dance to the sounds of swing. The night will kick off with a fun dance class at 8pm before a night of swing and jive to vintage tunes.

The night will also include the retro cinema, photo booth, cupcakes, tea and coffee by Studio Cafe, prizes for the best dressed, and a chill out area in the courtyard.

Tickets cost £9 in advance or £10 on the door. Contact www.swingbelfast.com 07540418694.

WE ARE SAILING

Well by now you couldn't have failed to have heard that this Sunday is the very fabulous FROCK AROUND THE DOCK event which will take place on The Belfast Barge! However many of you won't know how to get to this hidden gem of a quirky little venue but it is very easy to find!

HOW TO FIND US - The Belfast Barge is permanently moored on the River Lagan at 1 Lanyon Quay (Oxford street), Belfast. You will find the Barge between the Statue of Thanksgiving and the Waterfront Hall. (You can't miss the statue as it is the 25 metre steel structure of a woman holding a ring in the air which stands on Queen's Bridge!)

Frock Around The Dock will be in the Hold of The Barge which can be accessed by stairs or lift. It is FREE ENTRY to this one-time-never-to-be-repeated event so we hope to see you there!

MTV VINTAGE DAY

Our latest Frock Around The Clock Vintage Fair took place on Sunday 6th November - the day that the MTV EMAs came to town! I think that we lost a lot of our young vintage fans to celebrity-spotting activities but we did get many new visitors and plenty of 'out-of-towners', some from as far as Amsterdam! We had a fab day and the craic was great as usual. Thank you to all our wonderful exhibitors and all the lovely people who came along and supported us on the day, and big thanks also to Della Storm, Geoff Hatt and Matt McElhinn . Here are a few of my favourite images from the fair.
