Car boot sale, but make it classy. Unlike your usual boot sale, there’s no tat being flogged out of the back of a Ford Fiesta here. Instead, Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard at King’s Cross will be dotted with rare classic vehicles for the 10th year, from which vendors will be selling vintage fashion, homewares and collectables. For the first time, shoppers will have the opportunity to snag rare costumes and accessories direct from the Royal Opera House archives.
Mobile eateries will be dotted between the old-school cars and campervans, while DJs will be impressing purists and pop lovers with vintage vinyl. Classic car enthusiasts will also have their heads turned by the display of vintage Citron DS vehicles, the tribute to 60 years of the Ford Transit van and there’ll also be a pinball and arcade alley, curated by the BBC’s The Repair Shop star Pinball Geoff so you can indulge in some nostalgic gaming. Plus, hop onboard the CCA Art Bus – a mobile gallery designed by Sir Peter Blake – or stop by the Repair Fair to have a go at upcycling techniques like sashiko stitching or patchwork.
