Retro Spectacle Pop-Up Events

We'd love to see you- Discover Our Next Vintage Eyewear Events Across the UK

At Retro Spectacle we know that sometimes there are just too many fabulous vintage frames to choose from online, and that you want to try them on for yourself. That's why we bring our authentic vintage glasses and sunglasses to pop-up events across the UK, giving you the chance to see, touch and try our collection up close.

Our resident optician Emily Charlotte will be there to help you find your perfect pair - ensuring every frame complements your style, personality and prescription needs. From designer vintage sunglasses to retro optical frames, you'll discover eyewear with history, craftsmanship and flair.

Dates don't work for you? Get in touch and come and visit us in Wakefield, West Yorkshire for a private tailored fitting. Enjoy a one-to-one styling session and explore our collection of vintage eyewear.

Alternatively you can shop our complete collection online - featuring authentic pieces from designers like Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Carrera, Persol and Ray-Ban.

Keep checking back for updates - we regularly add new vintage events throughout the year. Regular locations include North and Central London, Leeds, Sheffield, York and Manchester.
