KING’S CROSS: Go vintage at Granary Square
This weekend, Granary Square will be thumping to the soundtrack of motown, boogaloo and rockabilly, swarming with colourful characters and acting as a showroom for over 70 rare vehicles. The annual Classic Car Boot Sale returns with a selection of lowriders, hotrods, muscle-cars and choppers parking up and popping their boots to sell vintage goodies.
The family-friendly event will see streams of traders, designers and makers sharing their passion for all-things-vintage, offering up some of the best fashion, records and accessories that the British subcultural scene has to offer.
For those less inclined to the rockabilly lifestyle, there will be an impressive selection of streetfood vendors and boozy offerings. These will be served up alongside roaming street theatre, live music and DJs spinning a vinyl-only selection of 40s-80s tunes from the decks of a double-decker bus. £5 on the door, £4 in advance. 10am-6pm, Sat 9th & Sun 10th.
