As for what bargains can be had, visitors will be able to snap up “sportswear, dresses, t-shirts, denim, streetwear, coats, jackets and much more in sizes XS to plus size. Prices start from around £4 per garment.”

Those heading along can buy as much or as little as they want, as the organisers explained: “We weigh your purchases and that determines the cost, based on £25 a kilo (but you do not need to buy a whole kilo). It’s roughly £6-8 for denim, £6 for a dress, and £4 for a t-shirt.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re an early bird vintage lover, or want to join us in the last hour. There will be plenty of incredible one-time pieces for you to discover.”
