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!

Summer Flea Markets

Just a few pics from June and a wee reminder that we will be looking for July's stall holders come this Saturday. Its a short month this time so looking on the bright side it means only 3 weeks to the next market and only 4 till the start of the festival. A few people have been asking if our flea market will be off in August due to our hosting the Forest Fringe again during this years festival and I am happy to inform everyone that we will indeed be carrying on with our market on the last Saturday of August as per usual. Call us on the flea market hotline (or the cafe reception number as most people call it) on 555 7100 or come along in person. Lines and doors open at 10am. visit our facebook page for more pics....

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...

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!

Another Market in Town!

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.

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...
