This isn’t just a flea market, it’s a treasure hunt for people who know what they’re doing. Vintage clothes, rare antiques, weird and wonderful homeware—the good stuff, not the factory-made junk you find on the high street.

• Want a jacket that makes you look like you own the room? Found here.

• Need a lamp that screams character? It’s waiting.

• After handmade crafts that aren’t churned out in some sweatshop? Sorted.

Get here early, or get left with the scraps.

🎭 The Tragedy of Macbeth – Nottingham Finale
📍 - St Nic’s Church, Nottingham
📅 - Saturday, 1st March
⏰ - 7:00 PM
🎟️ - From £20.21
📷 - @nottshakespeare

Shakespeare’s most brutal tragedy—live, raw, and relentless. The Nottingham Shakespeare Company is bringing Macbeth to the stage like you’ve never seen it before. No fluff. No faking. Just pure, unfiltered ambition, murder, and madness.

And what’s a blood-soaked Scottish tragedy without a proper drink in hand? They’ve teamed up with Castle Rock Brewery to create Nottingham ShakesBeer, a gingerbread porter as dark and twisted as the play itself.

This is the final Nottingham show—your last chance to witness the power, passion, and destruction before the curtain falls. Miss it, and you’ll regret it.
