Manchesters Alternative & Burlesque Fair!

As I love anything burlesque, Pin-up & Rockabilly, I was pleased to find out this event was returning to Manchester again, as I went last year and it was awe-inspiring.  

So this is what I got up to in Manchester yesterday…

The event founded in September 2011 was based in Sound Control, Manchester from 11am-5pm.  It brings together a collection of Alternative, Fetish, burlesque, vintage, Steampunk and Neo-Victorian products in one venue!

I arrived around 12ish and was greeted by lovely ladies giving out some nice freebie bags with flyers & event schedules (leopard print is always a winner).  There were also goodies up for winning straight from entering as well. 

On the first floor was a seating area and divine vintage tea shop surrounded by exquisitely dressed individuals.  I noticed a bar, a cupcake stall, and a fundraising stall whilst on my way up to the second floor.  I love how much effort everyone had made to dress for the occasion and how wonderful all the food stalls looked!

I made my way up to the second floor to find lots of stalls and the main events stage, however no event was due yet so I had a good look around the different boutiques (and obviously made lots of purchases...mainly fabric however).  I then went down to the bottom floor to find more unique boutiques.  I found the whole day incredibly enjoyable, the stall holders were all lovely and I would definitely recommend everyone attend who feels they would benefit from the atmosphere, especially to support small local businesses! 
Many thanks to Heresey n Heelz for presenting the program of burlesque events! One show of which I did manage to catch! It was inspiring, not to mention exciting! <3

I have included images of all the flyers and business cards I collected of the different stalls.
