The Clapham Park Project Car Park came alive with a Vintage, Arts and Treasures Market on Saturday 12^th February.

It featured a selection of original art, craft, homemade items, jewellery, toys and nearly new goods all at affordable prices and gave shoppers a last minute opportunity to search for a unique gift for Valentine’s Day.

Of the market, lead organiser and Timebank member Erica Tate said, ‘We wanted to provide an opportunity for artists and craftspeople in the community to develop their entrepreneurial ship. It is very much a local market for local people. You don’t need to go all the way down to Streatham, Brixton or even Camden, the market is on your doorstep.’

So, if you’re feeling the pinch even more so this year, beat the VAT increase and bag yourself a local quality bargain. One shopper said, “You’re definitely onto something here, I will definitely be coming back next month.”

It is hoped the Market will be successful enough to continue on a more regular basis, giving other locals the opportunity to buy and sell vintage, arts and treasures. The organisers also make a concerted effort to ensure there are no duplicate stalls.

The next market will take place from 1pm – 4pm on Sunday 13^th March in the car park of the Clapham Park Project, 1-4 Brixton Hill Place, London SW2 1HJ.
