The Fifties Fair Is Here Again

This Sunday 24 August. From 10am to 5pm. Write it down in your date book.

We were there the last two years and they've been really great days-out. It was one big party with music and dancing throughout the day. And I've never seen so many rockabillies in one place at one time - everyone was dressed to the nines in era-specific wardrobe right down to their hairstyles (there's an on-site hairdressing booth if it's too much of a hassle doing it at home).

If, like me, you'd only go somewhere where there's shopping involved, you'll love the market stalls selling all-things 50s, from frocks, hats and handbags to original household items.

Another big draw for me is the venue - the Rose Seidler House. I never tire of looking at this simple but amazing piece of architecture, joining the long queue every year just to do another tour of the interior.

And don't miss the Garden Shed Movies if you want to know more about the architect Harry Seidler who built the house for his parents.

Get there early if you are driving for the quiet street fill up pretty quickly with cars, both old and new.
