October Flea on November 1st

Due to the annual Radical Book Fair (http://www.word-power.co.uk/) the traditional last Saturday of the month flea will be postponed a week to the 1st of November. Booking as usual will start this Saturday from 10 am either in the cafe or call us on 0131 555 7100. Just in case that is too long for you to wait to visit the Drill Hall, we have a classic film night coming up on the 17th of October - showing the lovely Cary Grant in the screwball comedy 'His Girl Friday' and the following Saturday we are hosting Judy's Vintage Kilo Sale where you can buy your clothes by the bundle... Visit www.outoftheblue.org.uk for full details of all that's coming up. No change to the November flea!

May Flea Market this Saturday!

Spring is most definitely sprung and the Drill Hall Flea Market will be welcoming the change in the weather and suppling the traders with the complementary ice lollies and our customers with a selection of fresh cakes and muffins, specials and of course our classic breakfast rolls. Come along from 10pm for a good old rummage and rake about. You never know what you'll find and there is always an array of treasures, bric a brac, clothes, bags, records and books...

This Saturday is Flea Market Day!

This Saturday from 10am come along to the Drill Hall Flea Market for a good rummage around at our summer market. We have 50 stalls with all kinds of treasures, lovely coffee, tasty homemade food & fantastic cakes. Looking forward to seeing you this weekend! And if you want to have a spring/ summer or autumn clear out then come along and book a stall - we start selling pitches on the first Saturday of the month for the market at the end of the month. For example if you would like a pitch for the market on August 31st then come along or call the cafe on August 3rd from 10am. Our number is 0131 555 7100. Thanks.

Photos from January's Flea Market

Thanks to everyone for coming to Saturday's Flea Market, stall holders and bargain hunters! From my point of view it was a great market with loads of interesting items on offer - the only problem was I was too busy in the back getting bacon ready to get an early scout around! We've been getting quite a bit of attention, our little market, with regular features on blogs like the fantastic Is it Vintage and The Edinburgh Evening News -

Thinking of February Flea..

This Friday Jan 25th stalls for the February 23rd Flea market go on sale. Call 555 7100 or come into the Drill Hall Cafe from 10 am Friday morning to book your pitch.
Pitches are £15 (without a table) or £20 (with one of our sturdy trestle tables).  

December Flea Market Pics

Thanks to all the stall holders and customers who tore themselves away from leftover turkey sandwiches and came to our flea market only 4 days after Christmas. Although quieter than normal, it was still a good market and I managed to spot another Tala brand tin to add to my growing collection of vintage kitchen ware! Next market is the 26th of January and there a still a few spaces left for anyone wishing to have a stall.

January Flea Market

It's not even Christmas yet and already we at the Drill Hall, and a lot of you flea market stall holders, are thinking ahead to the end of January and the first flea market of the 2013. As ever followers of the blog are the first to know that we'll start taking bookings for the 26th of January from Saturday 5th of January at 10 am. Note that it's a Saturday this time! Look forward to seeing you in the new year and remember we'll be there on the 29th of December if you fancy some mulled wine at a Christmas market with a difference!

October Flea Market - Doubled Booked with Book Fair

The Independent and Radical Book Fair hosts a plethora of left-field stalls, as well as exhibitions, films, workshops, events and author talks. Unfortunately for the flea market they will be using our hall on the last Saturday in October. Because of this we will only be able to offer very limited spaces for a Mini Flea Market on October 27th. I don't want to ask you to call or come in as I feel there will be a lot of disappointed would-be stall holders as there will only be about 15 stalls. So for October please let me know if you would like to have a stall for October 27th, either by phone (0131 555 7100), or by text (you will have this if you receive text alerts) by Monday the 15th of October. I will then pick names at random (out of a hat or similar) and let you know if you have a pitch by Monday afternoon. Normal Service will resume for November!

August Flea Photos

Here are just a few snaps from 3 of our stalls on Saturday. I managed to get out of the kitchen long enough to take some photos, buy a few choice items and hand out our traditional free ice cream to our stall holders.

This Saturday is Flea Market Day!

This Saturday is the next flea market at the drill hall on Dalmeny Street. Free entry as always, come along from 10 am to have a look around over 50 stalls selling all kinds of vintage, second hand and unique goods.

September Pitches on Sale this Friday!

Book your space for the September 29th Flea Market from this Friday August 24th at 10am. I will be standing by the phone on 0131 555 7100 or come along in person to the Drill Hall Cafe. Pitches are £15 or £20 (with a trestle table).

Sunday at Judy's Vintage Market

This Sunday morning, feeling a little sleepy, I went along to the HMV Picture House for a root about amongst the stalls at the buzzing Judy's Vintage Market. Loved the DJ on the stage, the bright lights and the creative use of old vinyl by one of the stall holders. Judy's next Edinburgh Market will be held in the drill hall - watch this space for details...
