October Events: Finding the costume of your past life

Nash Meeker & Emma Barnett

Carls Fair
Oct 7-8, 10:00-17:00; Stødpudelager, Pasteurvej 28, Cph Valby; 50kr, under-15s: free adm

Rikke and Jean invite you to find the costume of your past life at this vintage clothing market.

The historic Stødpudelager building at Carlsberg is the setting – who knows, maybe you’ll find attire suitable for its grand opening in 1847?

Sustainability is the theme this year, but from a community angle, and the fair offers far more than clothes. Homeware, furniture and second-hand furnishing and fittings will all feature heavily, along with experts offering advice on recycling and design.

So take your home back in time to match your dress!
