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. 

Date's 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 designer 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.

    Weetwood Hall , Otley Road, Leeds LS16 5PS

    11:00am till 4:00pm

    Buy Tickets Here

    Weetwood Hall Estate is the perfect place for a Winter shopping extravaganza.

    FREE Parking on site!

    Festive food and drink options!

    Stables Pub - Weetwood Hall’s onsite pub is the perfect place to hang out with friends over a pint of traditional English beer or a glass of Yorkshire gin. Perhaps grab a Sunday Lunch too.

    Convive Restaurant - Locally sourced food served at an onsite restaurant, perfect for a coffee or a spot of lunch.

    And we will be adding 50 carefully curated independent designer makers – from artists, designers & printmakers, to florists, beauty, wellbeing, jewellery, fashion, artisan food sellers, and many more! Here, unique ideas cross paths with a sustainable ideology, and small-batch and preloved are king (or queen)! It’s the ultimate one-stop winter market!

    Take the laid-back approach to festive shopping, escape the high street and support the abundance of local and independent businesses on offer. In a world where you can click once and a cardboard box arrives, we believe in taking things back to a time where human contact is key, stories are told and new friends are made, where purveyors of artisan products can talk you through their lovingly made collections.

    By shopping consciously for the festive season, we can help reduce waste, lift up small businesses, and pave the way for a brighter future for us and our planet.
