If you're interested in historical places you could make daytrip to Hampton Court Palace which is rather close to Woking. Closeby is also Dorking which has loads of antique shops and one lovely vintage shop called Shrewd<br />http://www.shrewd.biz/<br />Owner was very friendly and chatty when I visited there last time couple years ago (bought one brooch). Dorking also has lovely indian restaurant called New Curry Garden. <br />Woking Leisure Center also organizes Antique and Collectors fairs. Three years ago we went there and I found lovely spanish vintage fan and 60's glittering handbag. Definetly worth visiting if the dates are suitable for you. You can check the dates here http://www.antiquefairs.co.uk/dates.html<br /><br />I'm sure if you're interested on events and such on Woking and Dorking area you can find more about them online since I'm not familiar with everything, but that area is definetly one of my favourite parts of South England.Rhiahttp://www.evildressmaker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156414460800826239.post-68901192323285984512011-09-19T22:05:23.711+01:002011-09-19T22:05:23.711+01:00as a Dub i wholeheartedly urge you to visit the Po...as a Dub i wholeheartedly urge you to visit the Powerscourt Townhouse, (http://www.powerscourtcentre.com/) drool over the yarn in This is Knit, the ribbons and trims in Rubenesque, potter through the antique shops, tea and cakes in the pepper pot and when you leave through the flower/plant shop in the porch/entrance hall turn left then right to find harlequin vintage shop, beside murphy sheehy fabrics<br />shout if you want a guide :-)<br />louiseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156414460800826239.post-17905911189175981022011-09-19T20:22:35.164+01:002011-09-19T20:22:35.164+01:00Manchester; try ryans vintage (good for head scarv...Manchester; try ryans vintage (good for head scarves)in the northern quarter, also the northern quarter is nice to walk around.

Aspire on the High Street is a fab shop too.<br /> There aren't really vintage shops in the city centre sadly though it's full of beautiful buildings it's also full of chain stores.Miss Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10899889154015378547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156414460800826239.post-54082792128812833542011-09-18T19:55:35.879+01:002011-09-18T19:55:35.879+01:00Glasgow!

It's not hard to find and it's one of my favourite shops in the world. I've moved away from the area so I've not been there for a year or so and I really miss it! Also, in Shipley there is (or was last time I checked) a 1920s themed tea room which is cute. And in Bradford itself, Bombay Stores is an incredible place to find fabric. Actually, the whole of the city is filled with amazing shops selling incredible sari silk and other bits and pieces. It's lovely.faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821807823826706886noreply@blogger.com
