14 April 2009 -

Holidaymakers looking for events in Northern Ireland will be able to take their pick of vintage merchandise when the Frock Around the Clock Fair comes to Belfast.

Showcasing the best of the country's vintage vendors, the event will take place at the Holiday Inn on Ormeau Avenue in Belfast on May 10th.

Items on display and for sale will include hats, bags, shoes, gloves, vintage homewares, reclaimed furniture, textiles, lace, vinyl records, classic comics, clothing, bags and customised jewellery.

The last event was held in February and saw over 1,000 visitors of all ages attend from Northern Ireland and from countries as far afield as Italy.

Visitors looking for fashion events in Northern Ireland this month will be able to find alternative clothing, jewellery, martial arts wear and even live snakes at Smithfield Market as part of the Urban Edge show on April 23rd.

Models will take part in two free catwalk shows at 18:30 and 20:00 BST in the marketplace, allowing fashionistas to experience the alternative side of Belfast's retail offerings.
