Inaugural Vintage Fair for Martinborough

Vintage Fair organisors Jason and Shona Reid, hope to put on the "unique market" in Martinborough twice a year.

Martinborough will host its first Vintage Fair on Saturday with a select range of recycled, upcycled or original vintage goods.

Jason and Shona Reid, who recently moved to Martinborough, organised the event and hope to put on the "unique market" a couple of times a year.

"We have carefully selected the vendors, who must have up-cycled, recycled or originals - we've turned down a lot.

"We're bringing a point of difference."

Mr Reid said the fair would include Wairarapa businesses and others coming from further afield.

"There will be things at the market which haven't been seen out this way before."

Retro Radios from Dannevirke would have original gramophones from the 1940s and 1950s that had been restored and implanted with blue tooth technology.

There would also be vintage jewellery and original clothing and new designs made using vintage fabrics and quality "hand made stuff".

The market is in Martinborough Town Hall, on Kansas St, from 10am until 3pm with a koha entry request at the door.

Mr Reid said the koha would be donated towards the new Martinborough Town Hall and Community Centre development.

"We thought we'd put it on and bring new people into town and support something that can help the town that we live in."

Retro food vendors and fresh coffee would also be available outside the hall.

The Reids moved from Brisbane with their son eight months ago and opened the Martinborough Village Organic Soap Company on Jellicoe St earlier this year.
